If you click that link now it will display a different definition :)

Yes, or {jonsimgau}, which has the jorne1 and jorne2 merged into a 
single sumti place.

Yeah this is the difference between {jongau} and {jonsimgau}. You need 
either {jongau mi do} (which suffers from not including another 
unspecified third party; since {mi + do} = {mi'o}, not {ma'a}), or 
{jonsimgau ma'a}. If you said {jongau ma'a} to a Lojbanist, they would 
ask {jongau ma'a ma}, "Connect us with what?".

Other than that it looks fine to me.
