So I suspect that we have already matched Volapu:k's accomplishment. It is the attempt to sustain this speaking community long enough that people speak the language more comfortably, and to use such a community as a 'total-immmersion' environment which would allow new people to learn more quickly that I think make the idea productive. Still, I have to say that every time we stretch the limits of our use of the language, it makes for a good publicity event %^) lojbab
