Oh no, there's a *ton* of work that can be done without learning
LaTeX, believe me.

As an example, right now I'm going through all the interlinear-gloss
tables and making sure everything lines out in the output; this
doesn't even require reading README-tags, really, just looking at
what's there and fixing it.

We can talk about the design specifications at length, I have many
ideas.  I believe donri has started on something in Haskell.

One of the big requirements, though, is "must be written in
something that's relatively popular in the Lojban community",
because I'm sick of being the only person maintaining this thing.  I
did a bit of a survey a while back; http://snag.gy/bNmxJ.jpg for the
results.  Basically, Haskell and Python are the frontrunners (and I
don't program Python, which skews my response a bit :).  So, it
partly depends what you're willing to work in.

If someone was going to be able to put hours a week into something
around here, though, I'd want it to be jvs2.
