I dunno, thought this might be good.

The new homepage is a great start but i think we could use more of a complete overhaul. After the new homepage is set up i'm sure it will link to the wiki and jbotcan but i think the wiki could use something newer and better like perhaps moin moin and we could have an official phpbb forum and use mailman or php list for mailing list software.

"pitr: has a sticky note list of every number and most of the emotions stuck to his monitor :P"

I'm always impressed by the effort and creativity that so many people have put into teaching themselves Lojban.

Myself I printed out the gismu list, on fifteen pages (in small type, landscape with the ends of the lines truncated), and bound it with three pieces of hemp twine. I've often carried it in my jacket pocket this winter. Sometimes I'll be out walking at night in the city, and stop under a street light to look up a fi or fo place, or a rafsi for a lujvo I've been imagining.

What have you created in your life to teach yourself Lojban?

The first one was {lojbo tcidu sidju}. It had the first couple of chapters of la nicte cadzu loaded into it, then you could draw around on the text (it displayed it sentence by sentence) and using the stylus you could mark words for looking them up or use a small keyboard to type a search query, it'd find-as-you-type. Eventually the codebase became a horrible mess and it stopped working partially, but i did read a lot of LNC while it worked. The second (which i'm currently working on) is ndsmemo2, a supermemo 2 based NDS app, that lets you comfortably train your words on the bus or something. At the moment i'm creating a desktop app to manage wordlists, as the current way (vim + a semi-binary file) is hellishly uncomfortable. It can already grab words from jbovlaste via DICT, it's really snazzy :)

A lojban class (probably online) would be cool. Maybe an introductory thing free to get people interested?

Lojban in Tengwar writing mode. :-D

There should be an easier way to donate to the LLG besides PayPal. I would donate immediately--at least $50, possibly $100. I think it's a very good cause to support, especially if the money went towards production of a textboo and proficiency test.

Here is an idea I have been working on

http://jbotcan.org/clixra/view.php

It retrieves the gismu and images from: http://jbo.wikipedia.org/wiki/pixra_liste_loi_gismu

I thought "this would be great for flashcards!"

You can add more to the wiki entry and it will be displayed on clixra sometime.

I was considering making a shared flashcard subsection to jbotcan... whereby people add a question and answer:

klama | comes/goes

or a picture:

From the question:answer pair, either might be displayed to a user (if possible), and that user hits some revelation button and clicks either “I got it right” or “I got it wrong”. Using the Leitner System.

The Leitner System would be used thusly: In a theoretical set of levels, whenever a flashcard is guessed correctly, that card moves to a higher level, and whenever incorrect, that card moves to a lower level. The regularly with which a card is displayed is dependant on the level; higher means less often, because you know those ones better, and lower means more often, because you don't know them yet.

It could be like a wiki, editable by anyone. “Entries”, would be a set of flashcards. Like types of animals or colours or whatever.
The reason I thought it would be a good idea is that people could really easily add new vocab (lujvo, anyone?) and pictures, and it'd be really easy to just go on it and get a random flash card displayed to you, when bored, or whatever.

How about various competitions that would promote some kind of Lojban achievement or accomplishment? You could even break the awards into categories and 1st-3rd ranks, such as Bronze in Lojban Music or Gold in Lojban writing.

One thing that I think would be effective are Lojban audio drills designed to be played once a day, that would repeat and stress key concepts until they internalized the knowledge. I remember how much oral drills in class helped me as a child, and I think this would work very well for young children.
