Never heard of it, and I wouldn't know how to read it.  And I don't have 
time to convert anything, much less learn how, with several higher priority 
things going undone.

Anyone who wants to convert our stuff to some other format and put it on a 
website is pretty much welcome to do so (it's polite to ask, but we'll say 
yes).  Just please don't expect Lojban Central to get around to it very 
soon.  It only took me 7+ years to convert the JL and LK issues to a text 
form suitable for downloading, and I already KNEW how to do that.
