I think the Lojban community is now different right down to its core than i= t was eight years ago. The degree to which it is a "project" is beginning to be outstripped by the degree to which it is a language. I guess back then people joined up in order to have the kind of conversation John and xorxes are having. Now, many of us are joining to make podcasts and webcomics and horror novels, and don't really give a darn about that other stuff. It is leaving the stage where the project is to develop the language, and enterin= g the stage where the project is to spread the language and accumulate a huge corpus of texts. -epkat ------=_Part_10233_8581616.1128265637941 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline On 10/2/05, lojban@solipsys.co.uk <lojban@solipsys.co.uk> wrote:
