Re: [lojban] Re: CLL and modern Lojban



coi

I am a passive observer within the Lojban community, following on-and-off for the past years and being interested particularly in the algorithmic aspects of Lojban structure and Lojban parsing.

I pick up the thread at this point juts to say that the issue raised resonates a lot with me.

Trying to be very concrete: let's say I have some hours to dedicate to the project... is there some action that I could do that would increase the chances of reaching a CLL 2.0, or a 4th baseline grammar, or in general to have an updated specification of how "official" Lojban should be understood?

I would be happy to hear your suggestions!

mi'e la .greg.
