At the risk of shocking you, I have no problem with, and in fact fully approve of, everything you suggest, and furthermore I have approved of what you have suggested before. If I ask questions such as user tagging, it is to make sure that I understand, and that a key feature is not forgotten. I'm not entirely sure what more I could have said. For LLG to commit to and start using your approach would have taken actually seeing the tools and, if that is what you intended (since I don't remember), converting the existing data to whatever format. That is basically what you did with the wiki - set it up and the Lojban world came running. I never quite understood why you did not do the same with your dictionary proposal, and figured that you just ran out of Lojban committed time for a while and never got back to it. >One could likely search for 'kominek dictionary' in the mailing list archive >to find my previous descriptions of what I intend to implement. > >Sadly, I recently lost all of my design documents except for the SQL database >tables.

It has to be at some point, because a text document is a flat file document. 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
