Subject: Funny Hat (Was Re: [lojban] Re: [lojban-announcements] Essay on the future of Lojban, with a simple poll for the community.)
Seriously, would it help spur work to be awarded a BPFK hat upon
completion of a section? And mailed new badges for the hat for each
new section completed? Because my Lojban-speaking girlfriend owns an
automated robotic embroidery machine.
