Re: [lojban] Vocabulary trainer for Windows



How about a platform independent version of this software? Since you
will obviously be making a big development effort on this, wouldn't
it be preferable to have as many of us as possible able to use and
contribute to it? Many amateur lojbanistas are using GNU/linux or BSD.
I could host this software, but it would need to run on a linux box.
Otherwise, I, for one, would be left out of the fun. :(
...Perhaps it would run under Wine?
