I have no complaints about the new official projects policy. We have a
mechanism to give the Board review rights, which is what I felt was
needed. Robin convinced me that he'll handle the web page maintenance to
support things.
You seemed to think it was a really good idea, so I thought you might have
something more specific in mind than "yeah, I agree, some proper
educational, *teaching* material would be cool".
I think that we need more teaching stuff, but I've given all my ideas on
teaching in the course of the draft textbooks and what I mentioned in the
discussion in the last day or so. Athelstan was the one who could teach a
small group; I have no talent for teaching, it seems. My ideas tend to be
built around what worked for me in self-teaching, and I've found out that
people don't necessarily like my way of learning, which is heavily drill
and kill oriented. (I used LogFlash religiously for a couple of months
over a decade ago and still know the words despite rarely trying to use
Lojban.)
Would this definition of an official project seem OK?
"This is something so cool, it really wants finishing! Could someone
coordinate all the efforts of this project and keep LLG up to date on how
far you've got. Try to make everything you do available to the public so
that if you get tired of doing it, someone can pick up where you left off,
instead of starting all over from scratch. If you get tired of doing, spend
you last few hours of it making it accessible to whoever picks up the baton,
and tell LLG that you're not doing it for the anticipated future"
As Jay noted, the minutes contain the official plan. But as for what
constitutes a project that should be official, I think you've pretty well
got it. The members having decided that we'll have "official projects",
I'll support people who volunteer and who then act on what they volunteer
for; but I also don't intend to wait for people to volunteer if I see
something I would like LLG to support that is of comparable value to other
projects that are being supported.
