In software development that would translate to 'beta', meaning the functionality is finalized and remaining bugs should be minor, but a few things are still being ironed out. In practice most often these things relate to user experience, which led me to think the case is quite comparable. Please understand that this is not meant to come across as bullying. The 'super newbie' stands before the decision to invest significant effort to learn a language he is most likely interested in using for communication rather than just historic or linguistic studies. For a conlang as opposed to an ethnic language, into this decision goes how big is the current user base, what are its prospects for growth, what is the leadership like, etc. Has the number of active users and the fanbase experienced viral growth, or has it been 'essentially stable'. If those nagging suggestions keep coming, and even resemble each other, a product designer in an industrial enterprise would be prompted to respond. What this response is like, I am finding out by doing this. No offense intended. Thanks for your patience, cheers :) Klaus On Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:17:03 +0100, Jorge Llambías wrote: > On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 7:34 PM, Lindar Greenwood > wrote: >> 2.
