It certainly sounds very useful. It's similar to the type of thing I was th=
inking of. I like the idea of enabling anyone to enter lujvo and such that =
they coin into a web interface and that automatically updating a dictionary=
that can be downloaded, printed, etc.=20

Perhaps when new entries are added some sort of notification can be sent to=
a 'dictionary-changes' mailing list so those interested in reviewing entri=
es can be notified of when entries are added/changed. This would prevent cl=
utter of the normal mailing list when many entries are being added.

Also useful would be some sort of programmatic inferface to it, like XML-RP=
C [1], so other programmers could interface to the dictionary from their pr=
ograms (for word lookup, etc).

Does this sound useful and appropriate? Would people make use of both
sides of it, in multiple languages? It seems like implementation would be
a Simple Matter Of Programming.
