The discussions here are often interesting and I'm sure they're educational to the participants, but I haven't seen anything about ways to market or advertise lojban's existence. Is lojban supposed to be just a labor of love or a hobby, or is there a consensus that we'd like to see lots more participants to really give the language a trial run? Neither answer is wrong, but if it's the latter, I'm curious to hear what the plans are. If its premature to issue press releases or otherwise try to spread the word, what steps are being taken to get the language ready? Bob
