I have little time to spend on Lojban programming, since I generally get home 
tired from work and have to buy food/cook food/pay bills/etc. before leaving 
the next morning. The time I do have, I am currently spending on the lexer, 
which hopefully will fix a bug in jbovlaste, that you can't enter certain 
words because vlatai thinks they're invalid. I probably could improve 
jbovlaste if I had the time - I have been writing a PHP/PostgreSQL web 
application for over eight months (anyone want to throw me some dargs?) - but 
at the moment I only have the basil.

The site needs some more testing, as well as programming. I can't find all the 
bugs myself. I don't know enough Hebrew, for instance, to find bidi bugs as 
well as Avital or Adam, and if a bug shows only on a Mac, I won't find it.
