QWERTY was made to minimize the jamming of old-fashioned keyboards, and Dvorak supposedly was made to type English more efficiently (although never became very popular). I have two questions: Which layout do you think works with lojban the best? Has anybody put any thought into building a lojban keyboard layout? You are a group willing to learn a whole to language, so learning a whole new keyboard arrangement shouldn't be a stretch :) oskar
