There are some solar sails among the images i have at Elfwood.
Like Captain Poppins kite and the U.N. solarsail 'Chinook'. Please check them out and leave me a comment or two. Maybe my images are good enough for NASA, if that is the case then feel free to give me a job...;)
A few words. only 4096 word stems to learn. All of these words are collected through a "filter" from natural languages from all over the world. The filter is that the word stems must consist of consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel and must only use the available sounds (16 consonants and 4 vowels). This way we get both the evolving nature of natural languages and the structure needed for new thinking (because of new world views such as quantum physics). A site for collecting words would be easy to set up and easily mirrored around the net.
Simple grammar. 64 prefixes such as pronouns, numbers and marks, to combine with the word stems into phrases. The grammar would have to be translated into as many natural languages as possible, but it would only be a matter of pages to do, not books.
An alphabet. Based on segments, like in old LED calculators, the alphabet would be symmetric, and would easily be localized by cunning typographers and/or calligraphers from different cultures. It would also admit the reading of the text in all orientations, including the way japanese and arabs want their texts.
When the local group i belong to started talking about linux, people... well... laughed. They kept on laughing and nagging about the lack of money while we helped them with one job after another. They kept laughing at us when we helped them for free, even if they had problems with win9x. But they started asking us for help, even when they knew that we preferred linux, and we helped them out. Sure the top people still laughed at us when the little people came to us begging for help when the money was spent and there was no other support to get. And we helped them stay with the systems they knew, windows mostly, and helped them get more out of the old boxes that companies and people donated to us as samba servers. They laughed at us for not taking a penny for the job we did, but we kept on doing helping them, even when the topdogs came wondering if we could help them stretch the budget a bit the next year. And we were there answering their questions and explaining how we did what we did. They still bought the expensive stuff, and laughed at us for trying, but we helped them get the reports ready and the fancy words out. With linux tools and apache servers. And they laughed at the silly students that installed linux themselves on some of the boxes (dual boot in stealth mode they called it) and they laughed especially loud when the students started helping others the way we did and joined us. They still laugh, but we know how we'll make things happen, because we do what the money doesn't care about. We are their friends and we'll laugh with them through good and bad... It's not about the money at all. *

There are other pictures in the gallery too...
The basic idea is this:
A few words.
only 4096 word stems to learn. All of these words are collected through a "filter" from natural languages from all over the world. The filter is that the word stems must consist of consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel and must only use the available sounds (16 consonants and 4 vowels).

Does that sound good enough?
