Thinking about it, your idea is brilliant and would complement the original plot perfectly.
Back then, we discussed having a Dora The Explorer type of series (but less crappy) aimed at 8 year olds, but with parallel story arcs to satisfy older audiences.
How about this: Earth-based disaffected Lojbanists who have been denied access to, or even been ejected from, the utopian life on the space station would be disgruntled to say the least. Seeing as the government is aware of Lojgugde but appears to do nothing about its existence bar cover it up, they are seen by the angry Lojbanists to be complicit in their repressal. Now, they decide to unite and attempt to set up their *own* Lojbanic state, on Earth...

Regarding plot, the pilot I wrote during the first iteration is more of a space adventure: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Figgelppx0xep5HC7GRConr445BHq3Oycb6uAB8tL2Y/edit?hl=en_US
For many kids I'd think this would be more appealing than themes based around geurillas and governments, but it largely depends on the age demographic a kids' show is aiming for I suppose :-)

We could actually base plot off of real individuals' learning experiences; it would make everything less artificial, I think.
I don't think that making the plot *about* learning lojban would be particularly interesting, at least for those who have simply reached the phase where the acquisition of vocabulary and quick speech patterns is most important. A plot about, hmm, lojbanist guerrillas trying to overthrow government would be interesting :P
I do agree though, it could be very beginner-friendly, which the grammar getting progressively more complicated as the story advances. This would definitely appeal to nintadni, for whom, in my opinion, there's unfortunately too little reading material.
All this to say that I'd be interesting in writing plot and proofreading/editing.
I hope this turns out :D
