Since you will obviously be making a big development effort on this, wouldn't it be preferable to have as many of us as possible able to use and contribute to it? Many amateur lojbanistas are using GNU/linux or BSD. I could host this software, but it would need to run on a linux box. Otherwise, I, for one, would be left out of the fun. :( ...Perhaps it would run under Wine?
