Re: [lojban] Revitalizing LLG: Suggestions for the 2014 annual meeting

In the 2003 annual meeting there was a movement to make Lojban the
language used during LLG meetings. It failed, but maybe something
similar could be considered again. Perhaps a certain percentage of the
discussions should be in Lojban, if 100% is not feasible yet. A "Lojban
Quota" so to speak. Opinions?
mi'e la selpa'i mu'o
A couple years ago, I started the meeting with a Lojban sentence, and
was basically told that people no longer wanted to do this.
The original idea was when we were holding meetings on IRC, and the plan
was to have people on a back channel translating and explaining things
in real time. the actual meeting would be in Lojban, but the process of
getting things into Lojban would have been greatly assisted, for those
with insufficient real time skill.
That type of language learning, where a group of learners is attempting
to communicate in-language, each assisted by a coach that would help
them find the words and modes of expression they need, has been used to
achieve rapid fluency in other languages, but it is very intense, and
hence hard to imagine working over the several weeks of the current
meetings.
I'd love to see it tried sometime on IRC to have a large group
discussion with coaching.
