But the bottom line is that we are trying to cooperate with TLI, not
to undercut them (at this stage, they'll live or die without our
help), and perceptions can be more important than reality. If we
start promoting "Loglan" on our web pages merely in order to get hits
from Steven's 500 looking for Loglan, it LOOKS to everyone else like
"hype" and "poaching", and will be understood by TLI and by most
readers as such. It would be better to negotiate a relationship
whereby TLI puts a more prominent link on their page pointing to ours
as another implementation of JCB's ideas with an active community, and
we put a respectful link on our page acknowledging their site as
documenting what we recognize as the predecessor language to Lojban.
This is honest, aboveboard, and communicates the way the languages
relate to each other.
That is the sort of thing I am trying to do with Bob McIvor (and if
he and Robin want to work out mutually acceptable wording for mutual
pointers along the lines I describe above, I approve)
I have no problems with this. Bob?
