Re: [lojban] Balningau: The Great Update

Is it your intention to fork off of Lojban?
No.
If not, why are you
making no apparent effort to make this any kind of official project?
We actually did try. See this recent thread (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/lojban/_juGorRhWtI ). We tried
to appoint some sort of new leadership in order to give activities like
this gimste revision the proper drive and momentum and the ability to
make actual decisions.
(I would like to say that I'm very grateful for the huge amount of
support I have received from so many jbopre, both old and new.)
We certainly would like this project to be official, but the LLG clearly
has other plans before even considering a project like this.
Nevertheless, I and everyone else involved in this project believe that
improving the gimste is something that we shouldn't postpone any longer
than necessary (Nobody knows how long we would have to wait. Another 10
years?). Usage and definitions are drifting further and further apart,
and it pains me that newcomers find the language in this state of
uncertainty. There are obvious flaws in the gimste, and we want to fix
them in order to make Lojban the best possible language we can.
We don't want to wait anymore, and we hope that others share this
sentiment and will participate in the revision either by actively
getting involved or by voicing their approval of the idea and supporting
our cause that way.
(I say this as somebody who loves the idea of a better-organized, more
internally consistent gimste and is likely to back any kind of
official proposal to sanely bring about such a thing.)
Great to hear that!
