It would thrill me if you develop a polling toolkit that is integrated with jbomu'e. If not, we can use Wiki polls. I don't want your valuable time to be taken up with this if it would be better spent elsewhere.

Am I correct that working magic would almost always involve Perl? Lojban is then the equivalent of prayer ... or incanting familiars to do one's bidding, depending on how one feels about those who have breached a toposophic boundary.

It also makes me chuckle to imagine entreating specific real-world Perl programmers by name in one's prayers (or grimoires, if the Perl programmer is a BOFH).

I like the idea of rules that are code. If someone finds a loophole, we should take a page from the story of "cheating Death" in "Lessons from Lucasfilm's Habitat" and not violate the world model. The gods should allow the mortal to keep whatever result he/she get from it, and then patch the code to prevent further exploit.
