I'm curious to know, who are you?

I think the Lojban community is now different right down to its core
than it was eight years ago. The degree to which it is a "project" is
beginning to be outstripped by the degree to which it is a language. I
guess back then people joined up in order to have the kind of
conversation John and xorxes are having. Now, many of us are joining to
make podcasts and webcomics and horror novels, and don't really give a
darn about that other stuff. It is leaving the stage where the project
is to develop the language, and entering the stage where the project is
to spread the language and accumulate a huge corpus of texts.
