I admit that I have been less involved this year than any prior year, in part BECAUSE so much "unofficial" is going on that I don't feel competent to get involved in. You know more than most that I've been dealing with a sick machine and a sicker ISP, both of which finally seem to be resolved. >Furthermore, I am not aware of you, or any other LLG person, *EVER* >posting to the lojban list saying, "Hey, we need foo done", for some foo >that involves less than, say, 40 hours of work. Maybe because all the tasks that I know need to be done take more than, say, 40 hours of work. Maybe not all in one week, but over a period of time. The easy jobs that take an hour or two, people crop and DO them without my asking. Sometimes they do the ones that take an intense weekend on their own. But the jobs I'm stuck with are the long haul jobs that take a little time every so often over the long term (and to delegate it to someone else I need to know that person will stick with it to do it over the long term as needed, as you have done far better than I have with the web site), and the REALLY big jobs like the dictionary. -- 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
