]]> Comment on Speed learn a language through Esperanto by Valdas Banaitis http://blog.outerthoughts.com/2007/01/speed-learn-a-language-through-esperanto/comment-page-1/#comment-135016 Valdas Banaitis Sat, 01 Sep 2012 07:44:11 +0000 http://blog.outerthoughts.com/2007/01/speed-learn-a-language-through-esperanto/#comment-135016 It was exciting to come across such an arduous and sicere discussion, although years old.
Let me poke in.
Caitline: Esperanto is a language modelled along European lines. It would be of limited use for learning Mandarin or Japanese or other non-European languages.
It is an illusion. Esperanto is a cosmopolitan genome of language, non-european grammatical structure clad in European lexis and described to mimic conventional grammar of the time. It was the description which was artificial and inadequate. Please note that Esperanto is the only conlang conceived and constructed by a child in unique sociolinguistic situation and thus quite naturally. Hence its propedeutical value. It has nothing to do with thousand and more projects coined by grown-ups no matter how erudite they are and how much of their erudition they cram into their projects. Unless they create some models for special tasks to replicate their theories (e.g. Kenneth Lee Pike). And there is another fallacy: Esperanto may be but learned, never taught (Caleb Gattegno). It is DIY language – empowered by its its distinct separation of nude grammar and uiniformed lexis.

]]> Comment on Bulk processing Lotus Notes database by arafalov http://blog.outerthoughts.com/2011/01/bulk-processing-lotus-notes-database/comment-page-1/#comment-94276 arafalov Mon, 03 Oct 2011 22:01:43 +0000 http://blog.outerthoughts.com/?p=396#comment-94276 Pankaj,

There is no “just” for SOLR+LotusNotes yet. You do have to build the connection because Lotus Notes document format could be whatever you design.

If you don’t know where to start, try running the export agent in the project and then looking at XML output. Compare that against field definitions in Lotus Designer to get a feel at the parity between what you see on screen and what is under the covers. Then, you will know what the next step should be.
