By the way, I've been assuming a Lojban-English dictionary here.

No reason we couldn't do others, of course. I'm thinking of the few
Lojbanists I know and what their native languages are.

So my first picks would be: Spanish, German, French, Turkish,
Hungarian, and Japanese. And Australian (just kidding nei,omis. :)).
Also Esperanto, as a tip of the hat to the best-known conlang.

Chinese and Arabic maybe? As part of the Big Six? Am I missing
anything else from those six?

How often should these be regenerated and updated? The version
information should go on the cover, I believe.

If it's every six months, I don't mind at all. If it were every
month, it would get tedious.

As for the PDF size, IMO it's not worth Jay changing it yet. Maybe
I could make a PDF writer someday, based on data extracted from
jbovlaste. I'm a Ruby expert, and learning Austin Ziegler's
PDF::Writer is on my to-do list.


Cheers,
Hal
