Re: Artyom Kouzminykh: Answes&proposal

The Novial-liste is open to newcomers and all attempts to
give insight into the development of a Novial for the year
2000 are welcome... the sad thing is that Bruce G. hasn't
been around as far as I know... he was the driving force
behind this resurrection... however he was a little too
forceful at times... But you can still join in the discussions
and your input is welcome.

Since,
Jay B.
