I read that the inventor James Carter is not working on the language anymore, but maybe he'd be interested in getting back into it, if there was an audience of interested people.

to, and other issues pushed ahead of gua\spi.

How complete is gua\spi? If it's as usable as Lojban currently is, I'd say it's very close to complete. So if you have some other texts about the language, more grammar explanations etc, it would be great to be able to read them. Also, you mention that you translated quite a bit of text into gua\spi. Could you upload that text somewhere? I would like to see some actual usage of the language.

* One of my major goals for gua\spi was to bring some sanity to
mathematical expressions (MEX) which were being designed at that time.
You might say that MEX grammar was tacked onto the core of Lojban,
whereas MEX *is* the core of gua\spi,

I don't have a problem with that, being that I'm a big proponent of mekso in lojban.

So bottom line, how realistic would you consider it to be that people could start learning gua\spi? Would you be able to support the learners if some bigger problems arose? Once more than one person (you) is at a good level in the language, the burden gets distributed and eventually, the language will get a life of its own.

In hope, mu'o mi'e la selpa'i
