Hello all,
I used to follow the developments in LFN a while ago, but
unfortunately got distracted by other activities and obligations.
This is one reason why this messege is in English... my apologies
for that. I find myself though drawn to this project again and again,
mainly because of its elegant design and sheer beauty.

Alright, I have a few questions:

- Was there any disscusion here about anouncing the grammar of LFN
to be "stable" at some point? Is such a thing planned? I do not mean
as Esperanto's sacred "Fundamento", but just as an agreement that
the grammar will not be altered further, unless some new idea makes
substantial improvement (unlikely). I believe such a formal
announcement to be beneficial in the eyes of outsiders.

- I believe similar questions have been brought up here, but I really
would like to know the "official" stand on the desired size of the
vocabulary. I'm in the camp of "simplest grammar, widest vocabulary".
I like accuracy and nuances, which I believe affixes and "context"
can only make an approximation of, unlike "real" words. (Consider,
"forgive" and "pardon", or "boy" and "son"). But, I must add,
a wide agreement is much more important to me than these issues,
and I'd like to know what the community thinks.

Greetings,
Isaac.
