[lojban] A new member has some questions



Hello everyone,

this is my first mail to this list. I recently found out about Lojban and have been spending a lot of time reading about it. When learning languages, I prefer to first get a very broad overview before focusing on the details. Once I am more familiar with the big picture I can better tell where all the little things I learn go in the grand scheme of things. So, I have been reading as much as I could fine online; mostly tiki pages and some old mailing list conversations, but I also saw some comments on the facebook group that interested me. I understand the language is currently in a flux, though I cannot quite tell what the officials' stance on anything is. I have seen talk of certain proposed changes, and I'd be interested to know what I should think of them and also what their status is, specifically the 'dotside' reform, the thing about connectives getting reduced (I hope you know what I mean), and what I think was called 'cmevla as a class of brivla' (I wasn't really able to follow the discussions). Also, I saw some people using different accent marks sometimes, Does this mean I can capitalize words, since capital letters were previously used for stress marking purposes?
I hope I didn't ask too many questions!
