X-To: lojban@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu To: Veijo Vilva Content-Length: 1083 Lines: 22 Message-ID: <_iRLcfV9jRL.A.WpH.Rz0kLB@chain.digitalkingdom.org> I was wondering if there was any on-line site where people are actually speaking Lojban. Perhaps a MOO or other M*, or an IRC channel? If there isn't one, I think creating one would greatly facilitate live usage of Lojban between a wide range of people. For example, there is such a thing for the Klingon language (telnet to mush.kli.org, port 2218). I'm personally not too enamoured with IRC but that would make use of existing infrastructure as opposed to requiring the creation of new infrastructure. On the other hand, a MOO type environment would lead to construction of an environment, with descriptions, instructions, etc without any of the many prolems inherent to IRC. A MOO running on a reasonably powered machine with a T1 connection would be ideal, I think. (I do not have the time, unfortunately, to volunteer to maintain such a thing. :) What do people think?
