We could then contribute money to the fund; when enough people did so, the fund could then purchase copies of _The Complete Lojban Language_ & donate those copies to various local, national &or university libraries, where they would be available to the public. Of course, the fund could do the same for other books & periodicals* in or about Lojban, as soon as they have been published. *(Not to mention audio & video recordings, CD-ROMs, DVDs & other such media.) Will this work for us? What do y'all think? >> I think it is an excellent idea, markl. This way those with more limited incomes could feel like they were contributing to the spread of lojbanism :) without draining their pockets. Yes, they can also contribute by talking about lojban, but this may feel to some as a more concrete contribution. co'o .karis.
