If you don't have web space of your own, you could always place them in the Lojban Wiki. That would be difficult for a large project, however. > Before I begin, I have some questions: > > - Has it already been done?

(***) I believe the LLG allows translation of all their material, since you're doing so to advance Lojban, but the above stuff isn't in the hands of the LLG yet. So, as you mentioned you were going to do, you should contact Robin Turner and Nick Nicholas. I think someone is already translating it into German, though, so a French translation shouldn't be a problem. (And besides the lessons still being somewhat in-progress, I can't imagine anyone complaining about a translation of them! :) - Jay Kominek Plus =C3=A7a change, plus c'est la m=C3=AAme chose
