I am not at all welcoming or willing to introduce any changes for Lojban. Moreover, I am in the conservative minority against dots before names. Like lojbab himself I think that Lojban needs users and not developers. 
Why I asked was mere curiosity, because the history of Loglan - Lojban split is a mistery covered with mystery - for me and (I think) for all other newcomers.
