If CLL 1.1 is not about making decisions, not about including proposals, etc. then WHAT THE @!#$ _is it about_? Just typesetting? The work that needs to be done for the baseline is nicely described here http://www.lojban.org/tiki/BPFK+Community+Work and I understand why it is hard to make progress with this.. (Though it seems, this is the best place to start contributing) How does one get feedback on the stuff he wrote there, given that he attempts to update some definitions? Just wait for an email from someone who got notified about the change? Does everything in there need to be finished for CLL 1.1 or do I mix up stuff here? Will these definitions be included in the CLL (1.1?)? > >or even new official proposals > > There have never been ANY official proposals since byfy started. At least in practice it seems to me like xorlo is such an official proposal which is still not incorporated(whatever this means exactly). > >or any other progress within the last year. > > The progress, such that it is, is whatever Robin says that it is. > He was granted essentially dictatorial powers until (at least) such > time as CLL is updated. That's a rather blurry and - given that Robin does not even have time to describe things - non-helpful description of what should be done. Ok, he has dictatorial powers. But if few other people know what to do, then something is severely wrong... Concerning editorial work... There is a TODO file/the issues page on github, but a lot of items on that list are just incomprehensible to me. What exactly does e.g. "<lojbanization> tables are shit" mean? v4hn
