Re: [lojban] the future of Lojban's leadership

And,

I lost faith in the endeavor. Here we are four months later still
talking about schism and the CLL and lojbab still grand-standing his
ultimate wisdom even though nothing has been done in the intern on
his or anyone else's part. Tragically, most everyone who supported
the original proposal here, to move the maintenance of the language
to a more software-development format have all crumbled under the
rhetoric of councils, bylaws, hearings and whatever needless muck
that serves only to strain people's already volunteer interest and
contribution.


Come the next members' meeting, I will certainly vote for these new kids to join LLG and, if it comes up at the meeting, for Selpa'i to be tasked with leading the bpfk, but I think that rather than focusing on legalistic and political stuff it would just be better for interested folk to discuss and document their vision of a completed Lojban. Xorlo came about by xorxes, through some discussion with others and much solitary cerebration, coming up with a gadri system different from CLL's, and the community, realizing that xorlo solved so many intractable problems with the CLL version, eventually embraced it. It prevailed not because xorxes bothered with legalistic or political stuff but because open-minded Lojbanists overwhelmingly recognized its superiority.

I suppose each new generation builds on, and so seems brighter than, its precursors, but the latest generation of Lojbanists strikes me as brimming with lojbo talent that in previous generations is not to be found outside a small area of ketco tumla. Therefore this new generation, the selpa'is, the guskants, et al should IMO just get on with sorting out the linguistic stuff, trusting that in due course the political stuff will take care of itself.
