Sure.

I don't want to "force" anybody to learn my way.
I want to share and to offer.

But for me there are other motivations, too. For example,
putting such a list together is a good way for me to learn
Lojban. And but setting up an e-learning tool I hope
to learn how to teach languages better.

Others may appreciate guidance and a personal touch (I hope).
