ceigered:One of the development team was a native Chinese speaker, so he had some very valuable insight and dispelled some rumors about speakers' troubles.
Be careful with this I reckon - as Arie de Jong "discovered" when reforming Volapük back in the day, Schleyer's fear that Chinese speakers wouldn't be able to pronounce the differences between L's and R's was sort of misguided (off topic, but in fact I suspect that the reason for the stereotypical Chinese/Japanese "Engrish Rangruage Plobrems" is because in those regions English is well established to the point where they get used to their own regional dialects of English thinking its normal English and therefore, like with Australian/American speakers, see their English as being perfectly OK).

I take it quite lately, from the frequent use of "we" that you're working as a team?

ceigered:One day I just decided that it would be fun to build a language with a small group of people. We decided to try an IAL and this is a result of that effort. The history of my language (see that I call it "mine" now) is kind of interesting. But that's a story for another day.
Awesome! That solves things .
