[lojban-beginners] Re: Thoughts on the website and resources

["red&white" <redandwhitestripes@gmail.com>]

Totus, are there any parts of the site I could help to maintain
without knowledge of Lojban at this stage?

I also noticed a user suggestion on one of the podcasts to design a
teacher's pack for Lojban. This sounds like a great idea to me. If
there are some other teachers here - and a least one person who can do
basic DTP - then I'd be willing to at least discuss a team project in
that area.
