[lojban] Re: taking action

There's probably a fair amount going on that doesn't advertise or get group participation.
My own list of slowly advancing tasks/interests looks like this.

Occasionally tweet a haiku. Read other people's tweeted poems. Read longer stuff.

Occasionally answer Quora questions related to lojban.

Create youtube vocabulary-builder slide shows. Did gismu starting with Z. X is in process. Probably skip V. (W Wilson did B, C.)

Translate "Ferdinand the Bull" on a beginner's level. 70% done.

Make lojban recordings that I can listen to while commuting to improve recognition. A few might get posted when I redo them more carefully.

Translate scriptural texts. Doing a little of Isaiah, Luke, and others. Grammar corrected existing texts on github already.

Made the ilmen/uilm glossing parser work offline and improved the glosses used. Wish I could do the same with la sutysisku, because android firefox loses it in the cache.

Created a few anki flash card decks with better glosses for me to learn in idle moments.

Created a gismu flat file database to which I am gradually adding goodies like example sentences, lujvo based on the gismu, types and case roles of the sumti places, frequency ranks.

Writing various python scripts to manipulate dictionaries and texts. For example, one glosses a new text to be read with one helpful line for each first appearance of a word.

Designing rules for using terminators that require no software support to apply and that are learnable, grammatically correct, and reasonably terse. Ku will be scarce, beho more frequent.

Figuring out how to write math with mostly bridi and few mekso, based on Robin's helpful article. (I work as an applied mathematician.)

Sketching what the language specifications and requirements must have been to come up with the language we got.
I'm figuring out whether a better morphophonology could have met the requirements. It should be much simpler.
