Láadan Working Group

Possibilities

A space for us to talk about possible plans for propagating Láadan online, and starting up some new discussions.

The website could include:

• The glossary (in the database, wherever hosted)
• Online lesson plans / workbooks (but do we need to be careful to not cut out market for print?)
• Order forms for print copies
• Examples of translated texts
• Theoretical information about Láadan, Sapir-Whorf, etc.
• Fun & cool ways for people to actually talk in Láadan, such as a chatroom, or perhaps a blog with Láadan/other lang. columns in parallel?
• Study guides for setting up local Láadan study & discussion groups
• Add more ideas to the brainstorm here!
