Work of the LRWTF
The LRWTF (Lojbanistani Restructuration of Website Task Force) is supposed to make the lojban.org website more friendly to first-time visitors, as it currently looks quite a bit deserted and it's not really easy to find an access to the community without knowing what to look out for.
See also my post on the mailing list about what the LRWTF has to do (it has a badly worded subject, though.)
Making the Mailing List usable for people who prefer web-forums
camgusmis has almost completed this step, so there's not much more to do here!
Lojbanist List
it would be great to have a list of the following things:
- nickname(s) and full name (not necessarily, though - everyone should decide for themself what to make public here)
- link this to their userpage or their tikiwiki-userdetails-page or something
- where they are to be found (having expressive icons for these would be a great idea IMO)
- on irc?
- on the beginners mailing list?
- on the lojban mailing list?
- available for VoIP or similar stuff
- waking hours (this was a very valuable suggestion!)
- amount of skill
- maybe have a uniform scale? everyone should be allowed to select for themselves what to put there, though, so no feelings are hurt

- what else? maybe a comment field?
Tidying up the wiki!
There are lots of partially redundant and mostly also outdated and often also incomplete wikipages on the wiki regarding lojbanists.
The userlist we are trying to create here should replace all those pages and they should be dropped from the wiki (loss of interesting data should be minimised, though)
Put stuff here
| name | location | timezone | amount of skill |
| Timo 'timonator'/'la timos' Paulssen | IRC, beginners-list, lojban-list, VoIP | Germany, GMT+1 | not bad |
| florolf | IRC, beginners-list (sometimes) | Germany, CE(S)T | you'd run away crying if you ever heard me (bad) |
| la cizra | IRC, lists, VoIP | GMT+2 | Enough to make ears bleed |
What to do with the website?
There have been lots of different suggestions for what to do with the site if we want to restructure it.
- Clean up stuff, link to everything from a new "home page" on the wiki and later make it the "default home page" for the wiki.
- Make a new tikiwiki and start from scratch, cherrypicking the good bits and fixing things in the process
- Make a seperate website for community stuff and make lojban.org all about the grammar and scientific stuff
- (add your suggestions here)
