Subject: Help for making Lojban-related software
Dear sirs,
I've been learning Lojban for several weeks and found a request to be
involved in the Lojban project in the booklet ".i la lojban mo" to assist
in spreading Lojban.
I've begun to develop (program) an electronic lojban dictionary in the
form of a Windows application, which in short, includes a database, and a
lojban visual dictionary, using free clipart to illustrate some entries, a
flash-card like routine, and some other rutines to search not only terms
but words from english definitions, which could serve as a rudimentary
English -Lojban dictionary. Word lists are from public-domain Lojban word
lists so there are no copyright issues.
If somebody finds it useful, this program could be published as Freeware
in any of the Lojban websites, but:
1. I need somebody who can review the project and state its feasibility
and interest.
2. I need volunteers to help me answering many lojban-related questions,
since my knowledge of language is still very, very basic (and honestly,
after having self-learned 5 foreign languages, I don´t think Lojban is an
easy one).
3. I've designed menus and tooltips in Spanish, since I agree that
other-than-English Lojban learning materials are urgently needed, but
these could easily be translated into other languages, maybe one of you
could translate menus and tooltips into Lojban.
Thanks for your time, and hope to hear from you,
Álvaro Vallejo
