humanMarkup
HumanMarkup1 is a project to use XML to "frame and embed contextual human characteristics including physical, cultural, social, kinesic, psychological, and intentional features within conveyed information". Thus it covers some of the same territory already trod by lojban.
Its interesting to see how another group approaches the same problem. They may also point out options that lojban has overlooked.
Stripped of the technology, their efforts so far have yielded.

(I find the Political mapping ludicrous in the extreme. But perhaps this cathedral needs a few gargoyles... --la maikl.)
I agree. I also find that the jobs need things like cizen at the very least! - mi'e. .kreig.daniyl., who is one
A language project from a bunch of techies and no slot for "libertarian" ideology as distinct from liberal and conservative? How believable is that? Any real gang of geeks would have "100 words for Libertarian" (anarcho-capitalist, minarchist, Objectivist (subtypes Neo Tech, Peikoff, and Kelley), etc, etc) --xod
