Re: [lojban] taking action

I would be more than happy to offer small monetary rewards for community involvement, such as contributing translations, flashcards, stories, poems or diary entries - including from learners. One idea is that a bounty could be given to a random contributor over a week or so. The condition would be that all work submitted would be with the CC0 content licence or similar.


If anyone knows a system that is good for facilitating something like this, let me know.


I have found https://www.bountysource.com/ but it looks like it needs GitHub or similar (at the moment) which might be a barrier to many possible contributors. Maybe we could make a hub for all the community projects using a supported platform?


I have also found https://www.patreon.com/ but it seems more for regular individual creators, rather than once-off "competitions". That said, I would be interested in supporting some regular contributors in this way too.


I haven't used any of these before but it was just an idea. I am not yet advanced enough in Lojban to easily contribute directly.

Hi there.

I'm recently worried too much about that not much is currently happening. I imagine a perfect Lojbanic community as a place where people do lots of translations and projects and such. What I see is the opposite: a place where everyone is stingy about helping, talking, writing, and complains about it.
Up to this point, this email really IS a complaint; now I want to propose something that would solve the problem. I think there should be a place for people to volunteer to other projects. Everyone that needs help or wants to start a community project would be welcome.
I'm utterly amazed about the Crash Course: it's a one man project, and I think it's worth recognition and work from others. Most projects could be completed within a few days or weeks if every Lojbanist wrote one line of Lojban/English every day.
I'd like to work on some way to make the community more active, and not just a random arrangement of people with their own lives.

One last question: why does nobody develop the Interactive Story? Please add something to it.
