Since the death of James Cooke Brown, inventor
of Loglan, there have been calls for the
reunification of the Loglan and Lojban movements. I think it's a
good idea, and it's also an opportunity to make some changes in
the basic structure of
the language(s) without reducing the advantages. What follows
is a proposal I've formulated to send out to any interested
persons:
...
Finally, neither 'loglan' nor 'lojban' would fit the new word-shape,
so I suggest 'Braunlan,' in
honor of JCB.

I have to note that JCB himself rejected any such thing, saying it would
not be the same project, though not discouraging Rex from undertaking his
own separate project. I doubt that Dr. Brown would have felt honored (this
is also not the first logical language effort proposed to be named for him
- Jeff Prothero, more known in the conlang community for "planb", had an
effort called "braun" that was based on mathematics.
There of course is no interest on our part in reopening design issues,
especially not in new directions.
