To identify what points might be "obscure", I would propose sending to the volunteer, the 20-25 odd answer responses that I have received to the minilesson over the years - wrong answrs at least suggest that one person misunderstood, and if several miss a single question, then there is a need ofr explanation. The second step will of course be to revise the minilesson itself to incorporate any needed explanations, added examples, changes to exercises etc. the volunteer who prepares the answer set need not volunteer to do this latter job. A revised minilesson with answers will eventually be incorporated in the introductory book that will be publishged to replace the level 0 intro packet with a lower cost alternative. If someone wants to volunteer, then 1) let me know you are working on it (and ideally approximattely how long I should wait vbefore expecting a result). 2) when you have finished, post what you have done to the list and ask others to comment. I am willing to have more than one person volunteer, since oftentimes people volunteer and then do not have the time to get done what they started. If more than one set of answers is produced, someone (or the list) will decide which answer set is more clearly written. lojbab ---- lojbab lojbab@access.digex.net Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: ftp.access.digex.net /pub/access/lojbab or see Lojban WWW Server: href="http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/" Order _The Complete Lojban Language_ - see our Web pages or ask me.
