Years after leaving the Glosa community, I still can’= t shake my addiction to the language. However, I strongly believe that one = of the following will have to happen before Glosa can have any chance of be= ing widely adopted:

  1. Wendy gets online, and is willing to tweak the lang= uage
  2. Wendy delegates authority to a person or group who can advance the

  3. Someone else creates a language bas= ed on Glosa, but with a new name, and advances it.

I tried to do (3) with = my Glo, and then Tavo. With three new helper words, and some vocabulary st= reamlining, I was pretty happy with the results. But around that time, I co= ncluded that LFN was “good enough”, and abandoned my efforts.

Since then,= LFN has grown in some ways that I don’t like, and I have realized that I p= refer Greek roots over Latin. If I were to get back to it, I would revert T= avo back to when it was based on Glosa vocabulary. Glosa+MinorReforms still= seems like the ideal IAL to me.
