[lojban] Re: Alternate writing systems?

for practicality (ease of learning, ease of computer use), i think lojban should retain the roman alphabet, but i think that having its own orthography would be awesome. The several ones proposed have been impressive, but i like things even more computer/barcode-ish looking, since i think lojban could be the language of androids. something like this maybe http://www.omniglot.com/writing/12480.htm

I do like the Elian script but the lojban orthgraphy is already


standardized and there are so few people learning the language that


asking them to use a non-familiar seems not a good move to me.




That said, the best way to promote Elian script would be to typeset a


piece of lojban and send around for comments. I guess nothing will


change, but I love calligraphy! :)
