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): Currently an online version of both English-to-Láadan and Láadan to English are available at http://jackiepowers.com/Laadan/ hosted by Jackie Powers
- 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? -- see http://forums.feministsf.net/
- Study guides for setting up local Láadan study & discussion groups
- Add more ideas to the brainstorm here!
