    So, I've seen a few versions of the dictionary come out now and am
    wondering... based on what you (some of the older lojbanists) have seen, if
    you had to make a rough estimate of when a "Final" version of a dictionary
    was ready to go to print, how long would that be?

    I ask because I love having hard copies of things like that and am very much
    looking forward to having a Lojban-English (and vice versa) dictionary on my
    bookshelf next to the CLL.

    Any ideas? Or is it still way too far out in the future to even guess?

    Work on the BPFK has completely stalled, so at this time, the answer
    is "never".

    Feel free to help.
