I have a scanner, but did not know they had AI software that will decipher scribbles on printouts.

I'd just as soon let the >LLG take care of publication and continue calling it "ju'i lobypli" Note that the "newsletter" is le lojbo karni. ju'i lobypli is supposed to be a higher level journal for people who are actively interested in the language. It will include texts and tutorials. >I am, to clarify, volunteering to handle the accepting of material, >editing and layout, for anyone who decides they want to become a publisher >of a Lojban newsletter, and to deliver to them something which they can >print out and mail off.

You don't need to wait for LLG in order to put out a newsletter on the Web. nuzban seems an obvious place. xod and/or others may even be willing to provide a Lojban translation so it can be published bilingually. lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org
