Alo,

All languages have to change. People changes, so too must languages.  I have researched and studied languages for a long time and only make suggestions based on what I have seen and what has affected (effected?) me.  Some IALs have stalled in both development and use because there is no change allowed at all or no one will agree to make any change, or even push for its use. One language in particular did not use the word for 10 (ten) as a place holder.  only 100, 1000, 1000000, and so on so 1965 was one thousand, 9 hundred six five.  and suggesting the use of ten was not met with much excitement.   I think 9 hundred sixty (6 tens) five is much better.   That is only my opinion.  I have lots of those...

Big changes would not be a good idea, especially since the foundations and principles of this languages are sound and well development and established in practice, but tweaking is not bad.  A directing Board of some kind would not be a bad thing to have.

A few ideas I have and or agree with:

  text book as a download. I will get a rough draft together.  to include a mini primer perhaps and an introductory dictionary

  I'd like to fix/change/repair the si-si situations but will defer to the masses what ever is decided.

  a smaller general learning/startup vocabulary... need to know kind of set

  to get the language going we can use the model of the email courses offered by the Esperanto organizations  possible even translate the Curso program...

  Maybe some PDF brochures and keys

I have more but this will serve to get me in enough trouble for now.

Tom
