Unfortunately I understand only parts of this, and it is still very
tedious for me to look up all the unknown words.  
To really get started with Lojban I would need to either
* take a vacation of 2 weeks to get over the learning curve    
* beg you guys to write bilingually so I can gradually learn from you
* beg John Cowan or some other programmer to adapt the reference parser in
  such a way that it will supply a list of word explanations after its
  output, if you invoke it with a certain switch

It would be even better, if a parser could be programmed to output
Logician's English (L-EN).  Currently the EU is spending lots of money on
translating Chinese documents into English.  With a useable LB-->L-EN
parser, I'm sure it would be possible to have this stuff translated into
Lojban instead.

Currently a group of people in Munich is founding a "Sponsoring
Association for a Free Informational Infrastructure", and formulating all
kinds of public interest projects, including language resources, see

(mostly in German).
I want to formulate a project for such a LB-->L-EN parser and would like
to hear some qualified views about how feasible this is, what the problems
will be.
