The Lojban brochure was of course our original FAQ set. There have been relatively few regularly asked questions about the technical details of the language, and they have tended to evolve with time or else to go through phases. The only consistent one has been the apostrophe vs. h tradeoff, and that is as much debating a design issue as asking the question, though if we worded our discussions in print more carefully we might enable people to avoid the question. It might be interesting to have someone comb the archive and look for questions that have even been asked twice. I'm not sure that there are that many, but they could be assembled. lojbab
