Hi, Muhammed. I guess it's a matter of what our intentions are. My feelings about LFN is that it has reached a point where we are only working out a few details -- new words for special concepts, catching errors, and so forth. So now I would like to promote LFN as a more-or-less complete entity. It has "flaws," as you point out, but they are flaws that are retained in order to make the language more useful rather than more "perfect." I have no problem at all with your project -- only with where you put it! Stephan's suggestions may work for you.
