Re: [lojban] criteria for the dictionary

Sure, I will try to contribute but first I would like to know the frames. What to do and don't, and in what form. And consistency is a good thing in my opinion.
Secondly I don't have a lot of time to read through all maillist either, so probably the wheel is being invented many times over and over again. I tried to read backwards through the maillist once, but I soon give up, and the BPFK section is good but incomplete.

With a better forum (like wordpress or similar) organised in separate topics, it would be easier to find the information you're looking for, and then it would also be a shorter way to start contributing (well you can contribute anyway ofcourse, but I think you do a better work when you're familiar with the discussions).

So with little time to read all mails, my strategy is simply to write down all of my questions/propositions in the same mail and learn from the response I get. Sorry for that. But still, if no one read "mail that long" does that mean all proposals must be short? Or is it even possible for someone non-BPFK to come with proposals?

This attitude is probably _the_ main reason why there is so few content.

Start contributing, discuss specific things with people on IRC and on the mriste.
Don't start more meta discussions. There are enough already, few people read
them, even fewer comment on them and the one person who has authority (besides
actual usage of lojban in the community) to make decisions (Robin)
will most likely not read mails that long.

If your contributions are usable and (rather) sane and people use them,
things will most likely not get deleted, for there is no reason to do so.

Didn't read any further.
