scaramouche_54 | Re: New LFN
In my opinion, LFN is good enough the way it is. In fact, it is a
beautiful language. If people start tinkering with it to change it from
George's original vision, they will kill the language. What the
community needs is a "fundamento" to stabilize the language as it is
now.
I believe one of the major reasons Esperanto succeeded is that the heart
of the language was cut into stone. This stability attracted many to the
project (including me). It also allowed the language to develop normally
through actual international use and not just some people saying, 'hey,
I think we should change this that or the other thing'. Proposing
changes to LFN "n'importe comment" is not serious and is perceived as a
major weakness by those outside the LFN community.
Just my 2 cents.

make a website for the latest words and the dictionary. This won't take
too long for I aim it only to have around 500 - 1000 words.
