The LLG Community Projects Page
For a list of recent changes, look at the news page.
This page consists of a list of projects which are officially recognized by the LLG as being potentially useful contributions to the lojban language. This list is non-exclusionary, meaning that the LLG supports just about anything people want to do that involves lojban or the LLG. The projects here are simply those that people have asked to have official recognition for.
The only requirement for those holding official project recognition is that you more or less regularly (and informally) report to LLG what you are doing and what progress is being made. The LLG will send you a regular reminder asking you to report.
To be added to this list, please e-mail the webmaster with a bit of information about your project, a contact e-mail, and how often you would like to be auto-pestered for updates. The frequency of these mailings can be no less often than once a month, for implementation reasons.
A report of some kind must occur at least once a quarter, or the project will be removed from this list, possibly with an announcement to the main mailing list in case someone else wants to take over.
For a less static list of projects, see the wiki ongoing projects page.
Some tasks are organized as committees instead of projects. See Old LLG Committees for more information.
Active Projects
jbovlaste: The Lojban Dictionary Editing System
jbovlaste is a lojbanic dictionary editing system that is now in full production. It was created primarily by Jay Kominek and Robin Powell.
Project Report As Of 2 Jan 2005
jbovlaste is fully functional, highly utilized throughout the community, and has lots of words in it.
Unfortunately, things are a bit of a mess internally. The noralujv imports have never been finished, for example. This sort of work is currently taking a backseat to the BPFK.
Lojban Archives Project
Bob LeChevalier is serving as project leader of the Lojban Archives Project. He collects any and all Loglan and Lojban materials that people send them, thus serving as a historical repository for the language development and growth. He also uses the material to research and respond to questions about the history of the Loglan Project, and the intentions of JCB and the early developers of Lojban; if you have any such questions please e-mail him.
Lojban List
The Lojban Mailing List is an ongoing project maintained by Bob LeChevalier, John Cowan, and Robin Powell.
Project Report As Of 2 Jan 2005
Still exists, although being hosted by the lojban.org computers instead of Yahoo now. Very popular of late. There is also a beginners list.
Lojban Wiki
There is a wiki dedicated to lojban that you can contribute to.
Project Report As Of 2 Jan 2006
The Lojban Wiki (a Tiki, to be exact) is now being used to host the main www.lojban.org website. The user-maintained portions are being updated regularily.
Lojban Beginners List
Jay Kominek moderates a mailing list for beginning speakers and readers of lojban. You can subscribe at the lojban.org mailing list interface.
valfendi
valfendi is a program implementing a more rigorous version of the Lojban morphology. Pierre Abbat is the manager of this project.
Project Report As Of 4 Aug 2004
Valfendi is, as far as I can tell, producing correct output and ready for review by others. It consists of an algorithm for breaking a stream of Lojban phonemes into words and an implementation of the algorithm. The algorithm needs editing for precision and checking for consistency with the implementation and checking for correctness. Proofs of correctness would also be nice (there's one theorem already in the text). Future plans include various output formats (HTML with word type coloring, XML with selrafsi indicated; the latter needs a lookup table which I'll implement as a CDB) and translating the algorithm to PEG (which I was going to do, but a sequence of foot injuries got in the way).
Web Sites
Robin Powell maintains the main lojban site, based in California. xod maintains the Lojban Web ring, which has sites created by several other Lojbanists.
