Historical Lojban Information

history:

This directory contains Lojban material which is primarily of historical interest. Any technical information here should be considered suspect with respect to the current language. See also the older items in the text archive and JL issues before JL10 for considerable historical material.

Minutes of annual meetings of the membership (Microsoft Word format) from 1992 through 1998 are here: 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998.

The original grammar synopsis (Oct 88) (grsyn.doc (grammar syntax doument 1) and (grsyntoc.doc (grammar syntax document 2), the ancestor of both the current reference grammar and the textbook, may be found here, both in Microsoft Word format.

The original Roget's category assignments to the gismu are here (rogetnew.tx1).

The October 1988 cmavo list (cmavo 1088 (.zip)) that went with the grammar synopsis, and the Feb 1990 cmavo list (cmavo 0290 (.zip)) are here.

Various historical versions of the Lojban grammar, showing its early evolution. The earliest complete grammar on file is grammar.new (28 Oct 1988). Also available are grammar.b17 (21 Nov 1988), grammar.e25 (28 Feb 1989), grammar.l23 (24 Sep 1989), grammar.506 (6 May 1990), and grammar.28 (1 July 1991) with its corresponding BNF.28. The latter two are the earliest versions of the grammar as modified by John Cowan.

A list showing the pre-1993 rafsi assignments side-by-side with the final baselined set of rafsi may be found here.

Some miscellaneous writings by John Hodges (hodges.zip) and by David Twery (twery.zip) may be found here. John Hodges wrote short essays mainly on how we might promote Lojban to the world. David Twery wrote text and invented words.

Finally, the announcement of the 10th anniversary of the Lojban language development (lojban10.html) may be found here.

jl:

This directory contains issues of ju'i lobypli (JL), the Lojban journal through the last published issue JL18. In addition le lojbo karni (LK) issues 8 through 11 are included because at that time LK was the news component of JL. LK18 is also included, since it was published a full year after JL18 and contains some news not in JL18.

The format is plain ASCII, but many lines are longer than 80 characters. Please browse the directory to see what is available.


graphics:

This directory contains many Lojban-related graphics in Windows .BMP and .ICO formats. Please browse the directory to see what is available.

lojban-list:

This directory contains the archives of Lojban List, a mailing list dedicated to Lojban. To subscribe, send a blank message to <lojban-subscribe@onelist.com>. Note that traffic levels vary wildly.

Files are named by year and month. If a given month is missing, it is probably consolidated with a later month or not yet uploaded. Because of apparent inconsistencies in the automated archives due to missing and damaged messages, starting in November 1998 the archives contain two separate versions of each month's archive.

onelist.com has a searchable archive covering the period since 5 November 1998 at http://www.onelist.com/archive/lojban


news:

This directory contains current links to other pages of interest to Lojbanists. The projects section of the FAQ is kept updated here with current status. Finally a copy of Evguenie Sklyanin's Lojban Links pages, locally edited is here. The original and unmodified version of that site can be linked from here.
