That's based >on the recent terminological clarifications. Very close. It is the published description AND the organizational commitment to that description. Anyone in the community can publish a book about Lojban, but LLG-the-official-organization is by the new policy committed to treating such publications with varying amounts of respect in response, based on compliance with the adopted baseline. LLG-the-organization has no power over LLG-the-community except to the extent that the latter is willing to follow the lead of the former, and that requires that the former actually do some leading, which is what we are finally getting around to doing. 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
