I think the name of the group has caused a lot of confusion. Several
people came here hoping to help create a simplified pidgin language,
loosely based on LFN. Personally, I think that LFN is a fine language,
but that it is more complex than necessary.

At some point, it will become clear whether this group will stay with
LFN, or create a simplified pidgin. After that, the folks who were
interested in the other goal will leave, and those who remain will
become more productive.
