Here is a more detailed explanation:

(1) natural language <--> natural language translation is a
difficult problem for machines because, basically, machines
cannot understand the meaning of texts, at least not with
current technology.  my idea is to remove the "semantic"
part of this problem so that the remaining task for the
computer is reduced to syntax / transliteration aspects,
things that computers do well.  strange as it may sound,
the point is to make _humans_ adapt to computers.

(2) one consequence of this is the automatic no-nonsense
translation of documents by computers, provided an original
has been created according to the protocol.  this means
making "translation engines" for each natural language.
moreover, a word processor can hook up the translator so
that side-by-side editing is possible.  this greatly
increases the ease of usage.

(3) the development of this language (and probably afew
experimental "versions" of it) can employ the procedures
used by the (quite famous) "Linux operating system" if
you know what Im talking about.  Basically this means all
the details of the design is maintained on a web-site and
are open to modification by all participants.

(4) esperanto will be considered.  myself, i dont know
much about this language right now.  but if you look at
the way computer languages used to be developed, you'd
agree much experimentation and improvements will be
needed before a workable version is born.  even then
they're constantly evolving.

(5) Ive received some responses and will get the mailing
list up soon --  thanks!!  in the meantime we can discuss
in the newsgroups i guess :)
