[lojban] Re: taking action




I think a more formalised/explicit/organised mentoring process might help bring the community closer together. It might help retain more learners and form more invested friendships.

That's a great idea! As a new learner, it'd be great to have someone to help introduce and integrate me into the community. Maybe another approach would be to pair new learners together. I'm not sure which would work better!

In addition, I would absolutely love having a voice chat room available (like TeamSpeak or Mumble) which wasn't solely in Lojban. I wanted to participate in the Sunday chats, but I got the feeling that they'd mostly just be in Lojban with experienced speakers. Having an open voice chat room is a low-investment way to practice speaking Lojban for the new dweebs like me. It's more personal than IRC and might be good for building up the community. It's pretty low-investment either way.

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.
