[lojban] Re: New, more Lojbanic Lojban orthography

[Roman Naumann <eldrikdo@gmail.com>]

I'm currently writing a transcription utility for the new orthography in Java.

The focus lies on the java interface, which is pretty small.
Once completed, the library should be easily usable from other java 
applications.

A small interface to camxes is also provided.
(Validating Lojban texts and producing a parse-tree-string)

Anyone interested can try the .jar file, with a simple GUI included, attached 
at the bottom of this site,
it's very pre-alpha though:

Diacritic%20Orthography

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
