Re: [lojban] Re: How it should have been. And how it could be.
I looked at the links posted, this is will take a while!
On the other hand, regarding the suggestions posted; I'm using it now in a school project, but not necessarily a small one.
-I was asked at school to work on a complete short story to submit by the beginning of next year, that is the soon-to-come reason for the question. The same story but with different characters, plot and ending (hard to swallow!) exists currently as a draft on my PC, and that is the long-term reason for the same question. Being an SF story in the future, I was curious about how the current Lojban community see the future of Lojban, or what would they change if they're going to start an entirely new project based (or not) on Lojban as a template.
-I looked at the visual alphabet, and I think it would be an awful idea to try implementing it as is; its letters can so easily be confused if you put them as clusters, if you put them as individual components then you're asking the beginners to learn the science of morphology; and if they pronounce a letter different from the original pronunciation, Lojban loses its unique sound-to-letter mapping. In a word, I'd Tolkien's tengwar over Graham Bell Sr.'s visual alphabet, bearing in mind that I recommend neither.
I have to go, will follow up.
