My only comment on this is that I have avoided doing this over the years because of the lack of capability to follow through. In the first couple of years I actively promoted the language at science fiction conventions, but inevitably people would ask "what's next) and they meant the dictionary and textbook, stuff to read in Lojban, and a way top ask questions and get timely response (as opposed to the occasional JL). The Internet has helped on responsiveness, but we need more and better. We need to have a dictionary at least, in addition to CLL, and perhaps Nick's textbook, and the podcasts for those who prefer that sort of learning (and whatever else is out there - I admit to not knowing what is being done). We also need a set of people willing to respond to queries in a systematic and timely manner (archiving what we send out so that it can be reused), preferably in several languages, and we need to know what materials we have in support of learners in those languages. I've done this ad hoc over the years, but any significant promotion would likely get 10 or even 100 times the query rate, and we have no organizational capacity for it. (We barely are managing with the few queries I handle now). This latter part partially overlaps what I expect Ali wants to discuss in his other thread on international community. lojbab _______________________________________________ Llg-members mailing list Llg-members@lojban.org http://mail.lojban.org/mailman/listinfo/llg-members
