Hrm. It is one thing to be brutally honest, but another to be just brutal. I fear that I am likely to cross the line (stressful day at work). I know I did before (not here, I think), so I thought it's better to clarify that my intentions are not purely evil, just a bit viciously, but in a friendly way.
Also, like I said before, I'm a human, not a klingon. So it's not culturally taboo for me to be apologetic <ggg>
(In the same vein, I guess, I'd add that much as I'd like to help the KLI I don't really know what to do except for trying to talk smart (easy) or giving money (also easy, and cheap, IMO).)
>But I do not think that one can copy complete websites and spread those ovre the web.
Well, not websites, but a single page. A resource page that links to a central page doesn't need much. If necessary, even the pictures could be hotlinked. (Meaning a lot of traffic for that site, though.)
The main purpose of that site would be to increase the chance of someone coming across it and then reaching the main hub.

Unsurprisingly, I'd nominate you/your page(s). Provincial as I am, qephom.de is about the extent of the klingon websites I know.
Your klingonteacher persona also fits the bill quite nicely.
>I'm working on that. (on my to-do-list) But this should be the KLI, and that's the problem.
I agree, but I also think that qephom.de could be a good start for a second(ary?) hub.
(Of course, since I hardly know anything beyond qephom.de, I'm rather biased. I have no doubt there are others who do equally much, or perhaps more, but I am ignorant of their work, so I can only comment on what I know.)
Much as I dislike change, perhaps the focus should shift from the KLI to something else (qepHom). Then later it might shift back - right now the important issue is to have SOMETHING that is active.
The KLI could/should still deal with legal issues and whatnot. But new speakers need an active community, which thanks to its brokenness this mailing list is not, even if there are enough active people.
