My research is in the user interface area and I have peripheral interests in
hypertext and knowledge representation. Please send your list...

Does Bob still need dictionary volunteers (probably better to ask this of
Bob)?

Software tools is an interesting area though. We've been discussing locally
what a useful tool would be that works best with lojban proficiency. We've
only early ideas yet, but we've been thinking somethings that use Lojban in
their interfaces might be part of a solution to the problem of why people
should bother learning Lojban in the first place...

Bob's list of reasons to learn Lojban is good and there's several reasons
there which are good enough for me, but most people seem to get initially
enthusiastic and then after a couple of weeks start to ask themselves what use
it is. It's difficult.

Is this an appropriate discussion for Lojban list or is that mainly for
technical discussions?
