TECH/GENERAL: Text archive analyst volunteer(s) wanted

[Logical Language Group <lojbab@GREBYN.COM>]

Before I left for Russia, I asked for volunteers, especially those who have
been participating in discussions of Lojban texts and translations, to go
through any archives they have of messages, and extract lists of unresolved
issues that need John Cowan's or my or pc's opinions (or someone else's),
as well as any agreements on issues that are not covered in our documentation
and should be (especially in the textbook and dictionary).

I have seen no postings of this type since then, and would like again to
have one or more volunteers.  I know at least one major area almost
dropped through a crack because of this, since I noticed in reviewing my
mail that in SEptemeber while John Cowan was out, someone called for him
to review Nick's MEX text and the associated commentary and revise the
MEX paper accordingly.

Since John and I review Lojban text on this list belatedly if at all,
comments in passing often get ignored [at least until much later], while
they may have general application.  Sometimes it is especially difficult
for John and I in retrospect (not having been involved in the original
discussion) to determine whether a significant comment was agreed with
(we can sometimes see if the text was revised to reflect the comment,
but only a fraction of posted Lojban texts are reposted with corrections
after all commentary).  Thus it is particularly valuable for the authors
of texts to report on issues and understandings gained from comments.

And we do want to eventually resolve outstanding issues raised in
discussions.

References to texts, approximate or exact dates and who made the
comments are especially useful.
