Or it's simply unlucky about attracting devoted and fervent fans, or conlangs are just too esoteric to ever attract a following the size of, e.g. Python. The thing that makes Lojban different from some half-finished project on Sourceforge is that Lojban doesn't lose its relevance over time nearly as quickly as something that's about software. So Lojban doesn't need the level of dedication that a software project gets in order to stay alive. This is not to say that I'm sure that Lojban is healthy. I think it's probably OK, though a bit slow-moving. And I'm doing my part. Chris Capel -- "What is it like to be a bat? What is it like to bat a bee? What is it like to be a bee being batted?
