Re: [lojban] jboselkei is back

[Wuzzy <almikes@aol.com>]

I have a question about jboselkei:

What’s the official policy regarding non-standard Lojban?

I have seen some non-standard usage of Lojban. In Lojban, it is
strictly wrong but when considering some _proposals_, it would be
correct.

Jboselkei should be clear on wheather some of these proposals are
considered correct or not. On some of the more popular proposals,
jboselkei should be explicit.

Some of the popular proposals are:
- dotside (What a stupid name for a proposal by the way! xD)
- experimental gismu
- experimental cmavo
- xorlo

Jboselkei really should have a policy, otherwise, this happens:

Suppose there are the lojbanists A, B, C and D which all know standard
Lojban (Lojban without dotside) and have an equal jboselkei rating.
Lojbanist A knows and uses dotside and translates “I am
LaPlace.” with “mi'e .laplas.”.
Lojbanist B knows dotside and is in favor of it and rates 10/10, since
under Lojban with dotside, it would be correct.
Lojbanist C does not know dotside and rates it lower for a mistake,
since “laplas” breaks up into “la plas” in Lojban without dotside.
Lojbanist D also knows dotside but rejects it and rates it lower for the
same reason as C.

This is not good, since the rating basicly depends on wheather the
rater accepts dotside.

I have skipped everything which looks like dotside to me so far.

Note that I do not intend to discuss about wheather dotside
is good; I just want to have a policy regarding non-standard
Lojban.
