Once upon a time we had the Klingon MUSH where we sat around and 
chatted and quickly became able to read and write Klingon as fast as 
we could type.  The trick was that people hung out in there alone 
just idle until someone showed up and messaged them and then we'd chat.

Technology has moved on and we could have regular chat times where we 
did this by videochat.  Based on when the activity is on the Facebook 
Translation forum (my current energy suck) about 13Z-16Z and again at 
00Z -03Z would be good timeslots to camp.

We have to put some energy into the KLI website so that newcomers 
don't think we're dormant, and get back out there with the technology 
to make our language LIVE.
