Not exactly, but a few years ago on the AUXLANG list, Thomas Alexander and I talked about the possibility of creating an auxlang similar enough to Esperanto that you could do automated translation from E-o into it (thus rapidly building a large corpus), but different enough to be interesting and attractive to the sort of people who don't like E-o. I think stevo has done something similar since then. -- Jim Henry http://www.pobox.com/~jimhenry/
