Several sources mention the potential future application of Lojban as an international auxiliary language. Wikipedia's page on Lojban indicates one goal recognised by the community (despite not being the initial goal behind creation of the language) being its use as an auxlang. The lojban.org wiki page describing "The Complete Lojban Language" mentions a community forming with this goal in mind. And Pierre Janton in 1993 classified logical languages (which would include Loglan and Lojban, I presume) as a kind of auxlang. So I understand that Lojban was not initially aimed to be an auxlang, but "never one of our goals" is kind of isolating to just one group's goals since there undeniably are those in the community who have the goal of using it as an auxlang. Also, "conlang != auxlang" is irrelevant. An auxlang can be a conlang. I wasn't implying that Lojban was not a conlang. > Just wait two months.
