I don't think the language is ready yet for a Wikipedia. There isn't enough 
vocabulary. I think we should wait until the BPFK issues are resolved and 
there's enough in jbovlaste to publish a dictionary.

If anyone else would like to start it, go ahead. There are already two 
Wikipedia articles in Lojban: Uncaria and coelacanth (at gambire fa'u gombesa 
on the Lojban wiki).
