Re: Errors in 18 Steps

I believe the founders of the langu= age did not wish to clearly define all the details. They wanted YOU as = users of the language to decide. They published many different variation= s (formats) of the language so that you (users) will choose the ones you= like and use them, and ignore the ones you don’t like and let them fall= into disuse.

The authors discussed a lot with the users via their new= spaper “Plu Glosa Nota”. So during development of the language, some new i= deas came in. Probably this lead to some contradictions in the material. =

But I do not understand what you mean with “different variations”? The lan= guage is ready!

Please try to use the language and write some texts. Whe= n you come into problems, read the GEO-books, ask here the glosalist-pe or = ask Wendy Ashby. Normally it can be decided, what is good Glosa and what i= s wrong.

… And I get the sense that the most are anglophone. That m= eans as the time goes by Glosa will be more and more English like, quash= ing wishes of the minorities … I may occasionally be putting my two = bits out there as a minority, which some of you may not like. I apologi= ze, if so.

A big part of the internet is English, and that is where we ar= e, like it or not. I am a German. Now I am a bit out of practice with Eng= lish, so my English level went down. Nevertheless I have the feeling, that= I am welcome here. And you are welcome, too, no matter, where you are fro= m. By the way, where are you from?

As it is now, it seems to me the = person who has the greatest power is the person who maintains the websit= e(s). (I have seen some “errors” in the website ;-)

Power is not the g= oal of glosa.org. Sad, when somebody gets this impression. It is just a f= ree information service about one of the most interesting IALs. I try to k= eep Wendy Ashby informed about what is going on there and I want to conside= r her wishes.

Please tell me errors. I will try to fix them, but please = be patient.

Everybody can set up his own Glosa website. I am collecting = the addresses in the link section of glosa.org. The last entry of 2007-05-= 28 is the site of Aender (glosalist-pe “vekigulacerbon”) with his translati= ons of beautiful poems.
