The BPFK is the committee charged with actually finishing the Lojban baseline (in particular, getting sensible cmavo definitions finished). It has had some serious problems with Actually Getting Shit Done. We need someone to be our task master. The job, in brief, consists of about once a week looking at the current state of affairs and doing one of the following: 1. Picking a new section to work on, essentially at random. 2. Calling a vote on the current section. 3. Closing a vote on the current section and reporting the results. This means also doing option #1. 4. Sending mail to members exhorting them to actually get off their asses and do some work for a change. We specifically do *not* want this person to get involved in the actual BPFK work or discussion! Everyone who has done that has gotten bogged down in it and started sucking at the organizational side. No Lojban skill whatsoever a *plus*. :) If someone can step up to the plate here, it would make a huge long-term difference to the language. -Robin -- Lojban Reason #17: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo Proud Supporter of the Singularity Institute - http://singinst.org/ http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
