There's been a thread before about whether QWERTY or Dvorak works better
with Lojban. Dvorak because the idea of putting all the vowels in one
place still works, and QWERTY because Dvorak moves ' out of the way.

Then there's the evolved Lojban keyboard, generated using a
genetic-programming program someone else wrote that works on keyboard layouts:

W H Y S F G V ' N M / =
 I O A E U D C L Z J -
  Q , ; B . P T K R X 

...except that keyboard is kind of weird in places, like having Z on the
home row and not T.
