Re: [lojban] Re: New soi's scope



Most pages on the wiki are like that. Few people can understand them.
E.g. as of subjunctives at that time I had to copy all of the related pages into one Word document to read them and understand them which took several days.
They need simpler definitions and more easy real life examples.
Luckily, we have a new wiki on mw.lojban.org that is free from cherishing and preserving those old discussions as they are. We can edit them to make them more human friendly.

As of now I'm doing mostly reformatting work (since they are also not readable due to weird formatting).
The previous discussions will be saved and frozen forever in the tiki (the older wiki) so everyone can go there at any time if they are doing historical studies.

That is a different proposal than the one for using /voi/ for {poi'i}, which is the one you hadn't understood.

It struck me as quite reasonable and understandable that you, newish to these topics, didn't understand that proposal, but not that you blamed the proposer for that.
