We're actually on about Logjam vii going back to 1955. That is the direct line with JCB or LLG in charge. I know of maybe half a dozen spinoffs, none of the very active, and I don't know what has happened over at Loglan. We're about par for the course, with Lojban as a more successful Ido. Lojban took some, but not all, of the next Loglan suggestions, added a few new ones, and threw out a few things. And has done more alteration since.
{zilni,'I} is still linked to logical necessity, which is rarely the interesting case (all S5 and the like).
Jim Carter's guaspi was the first attempt to reform Lojban, though Prothero threw in planb at some point.
The bottom line is that we've learned how hard it is to deisgn and document a language. I don't think the project could complete a new complete do-over (and remember that Lojban was itself never intended to be a complete do-over, but an evasion of JCB's intellectual property claims - we re-did a lot as a result, but maintaining the conceptual status quo was a top priority).
If it ever is done, a re-do should be done by a mass of fluent Lojbanists working solely in that language to prevent malglico and as much malrarna as possible.
