Re: [lojban] Mass import into jbovlaste ?

[Robin Lee Powell <rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org>]

What I have in my head is very much not like the current version.
I have a general feeling that the way we structure definitions isn't
actually good for how Lojban words actually work, and I want to make
something that can be used for a formal dictionary, or flashcards,
or glossing.

The only thing I have is a document Tene and I worked on,
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U6Q9u4_ZwqZzyy7MW-1dfpkx4oxlc0seF82zp2FlqzE/edit?hl=en_US

I would be more than happy to meet on skype or something and flesh
out the concepts (i.e. to work together to produce a more sane
document).
