Re: [lojban] Re: Vote for the Future Global Language
I think you answered your own question, in that Lojban is
incomplete, and completing it requires more effort, which
can be had by generating interest, which can be had by
generating attention.
Only a percentage of people in the community will work to
complete the language, and the community consists only of those
who spend time in it, which is a subset of those who are
interested, which is a subset of those who have heard about it.
There are ~500 subscribers to this mailing list, of which maybe 2
dozen regularly post. I don't have any reason to believe that
this is atypical, in that you don't see an increase in direct
participation without an increase in silent participants and
everything else leading up to that.
tl;dr: Lojban isn't going to finish itself. ;-)
