I believe there is a better way than the MUSH but it is there... we might
as well make use of it. But I would welcome other options.

When we spend a lot of time somewhere, be it MUSHes, Active Worlds, Comic
Chat, IRC, ICQ, etc. we become partial to that form. We need to assess
which is most suited to the mission - which is learning to communicate
using the Klingon language. That is the criterion we must use - ease and
convenience and format and features are all factors to consider, but
mustn't outweigh the educational appropriateness.

I again suggest that an HTML page be devoted to hints to the Klingon user
of the MUSH, and linked to the telnet link on the KLI projects page. (The
FAQ is really list-centered, and quite long already; the MUSH/other Klingon
speaking environment is a separate thing - perhaps it needs its own FAQ?) 
What's important is that no one has to go into the MUSH (or other speaking
environment) distracted from the learning process by  confusion.
