GENERAL: The Lojban WWW Server

[Veijo Vilva <veion@XIRON.PC.HELSINKI.FI>]

The initial phase of the server is gradually taking shape. I spent
a busy afternoon adding and editing material. There are almost no
links between the files yet as I am concentrating on the quantity
and representativeness of the material. Almost all the introductory
material is there plus some extra tidbits to whet the appetite
of academic linguists.

I have received two i'esai messages from the list, and there have
been 4 visits - 2 from the U.S. and 2 from the U.K.

I'd appreciate as many people from the list as possible coming
and taking a look and commenting on the contents and the presentation.
I'd also like to know what type of client program/browser you are
using.

I am also interested in the transfer rates you are getting.
The lines to the server are presently quite fast (the slowest link
between the server and Sweden/USA is 2 Mbits/s and I have transferred
large files at up to 27 kbytes/s from FTP servers in the U.S.).
Your local conditions may vary, and there may be temporary congestion
at various segments and gateways along the route, of course.

I'd also like to have comments from people WITHOUT WWW access,
primarily suggestions concerning the priorities in introducing
new material and any ideas concerning the internal/external
hypertext links within this kind of material.
