I always get utter > silence. .skamyxatra Really? I've never encountered any of these requests. Maybe I should go on IRC more. Besides, I thought that in order to join the BPFK you had to be a member of the LLG, which required "competence" in one of several specific fields. Anyway, to get the ball rolling, I suppose I'll request membership. My qualifications are: - borderline autistic, obsessive-compulsive, pedantic undergraduate majoring in computational mathematics - currently working on Haskell/Perl/C libraries for manipulating Lojban words & text: - deep-seated & irrational dislike of cultural {gismu} and the tiki - knowledge of mathematical operators beyond just the high-school level stuff in VUhU - desire to rewrite the entire language specification in a highly formal & precise manner modeled after the ISO C99 standard. I started this once but never got past the morphology section. - desire to rewrite the official {gismu} & {cmavo} lists *without* the arbitrary 100-ish-character limit on the definition fields (Have you ever heard of tab-separated values?), merging in definition fragments that were relegated to the notes fields and generally making everything more consistent, formal, and normative. I once tried this as part of an attempt at typesetting a decent dictionary (first with XML, then with JSON) but never got very far. - desire to usurp control of the BPFK and LLG as part of my over-arching goal of world domination. Time permitting, of course. So, do you send me a funny hat, or do I have to make my own? mu'omi'e .kamymecraijun. -- li'a .e'i ca vondei .i mi na'e pu'i kufra loi vondei -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
