George Boeree | Un cria per aida!

Alo, Amis de LFN!

La vici nova dona a nos un bon acaso nova per grandi la interesa en
LFN.  Interlingua ave 2 859 articles.  Esta es nos gol prima.  Ido
ave 12 814.  Esperanto ave 30 673.  La otra IALes ave prosima a zero.

"Presenta LFN" aperi ver bon.  El instrui la lejor tota la esensals
de gramatica e conteni la 1200 parolas base de LFN.  Entre tradui, me
nota no eras major o cosa ce nesesa es cambiada.  Stefan, posable tu
pote demanda plu desinias de Andreas.  Si el is tro ocupada, me pote
fa alga de la desinias plu simple (como me talentos simple!).  Me
xerca ance per otra pituras grande tan nos no ave problemas con
"copyright."  Ance, Antonio, si tu pote fini junta la paroles
portuges a la capitoles, esta ta es multe bon.  A alga ora, me ta
gusta clui Presenta LFN (con permete de la grupo) e abri un otra per
tota ci ta gusta junta se linguas propre.  Nos debe restrinje la
linguas a sinco, plu or min, per cada presenta, tan esta resta fasil
per usa.

De articles per la vici:  Contra ce alga contribui aida la move, es
la plu bon crea articles vera bon e completa.  Preferable, nos debe
usa articles de la Wikipedias plu grande.  Me nota ce multe de la
articles en linguas plu corta, e mesma en Esperanto, es multe corta
"stubs."  Me divina ce, en los desira per reconose, los atenta
manteni multe pajes!  Ma, si nos desira vera respeta de la comunia
internasional, nos pote pone articles vera respetable!

Alga sujestes:  Nos ave traduis corta de poesia, literatura, e testos
de relijion.  Si nos pone articles de Budisme, Cristisme, Taoisme,
etc., nos pote lia a esta traduis.  Simile, un article de poesores e
scrivors pote llia a la poesias e operas de literatura propre.  Un
article de aicu pote lia a nos colie de aicus.  E plu.

Per favore, contribui a la vici!

Bon festas,

Jorj

Hello, Friends of LFN!

The new Wiki format provides us with a great new opportunity to
expand interest in LFN.  Interlingua has 2 859 articles.  That's our
first goal.   Ido has 12 814.  Esperanto has 30 673.  The other IALs
have next to nothing.

"Presenta LFN" is looking particularly good.  It teaches all the
essentials of grammar and contains the basic 1200 or so words of
LFN.  While transfering it, I noted no major errors or things that
might need to be changed.  Stefan, perhaps you could ask Andreas for
more pictures.  If he is too busy, I can do some of the simpler ones
(in keeping with my simpler talents!).  I am also looking for
alternative larger pictures so we don't run into copyright issues.
Also, Antonio, if you could finish adding the Portuguese words to the
chapters, that would be great.  At some point, I would like to close
it to modification (with the group's permission), and open a second
one for anyone who would like to add their own languages.  We should
try to keep it down to 5 or so languages per edition, so that it
stays easy-to-use.

About articles for the Wiki:  Although anything is a help, it would
be best to create really good, complete articles.  Preferably, we
could use articles from the largest Wikipedias.  I noticed that many
of the articles in smaller languages, and even in the Esperanto
Wikipedia, are very short stubs.  I guess, in their desire to be
recognized, they just tried to keep the numbers up.  But if we want
real respect from the international community, we need to put up
respectable articles!

Some suggestions:  We have short translations of poetry, literature,
and religious texts.  If we put up articles on Buddhism,
Christianity, Taoism, etc., we can link to those translations.
Likewise, an article on poets and writers can link to the
corresponding poems and literary works.  An article on Haiku can link
to our haiku collection.  And so on.

Please contribute to the Wiki!

Happy Holidays,

George
