By poking around in there, you might be able to determine whether
mass import is supported or what you'd have to do to make that
happen.
I'm given to understand that this tool is still unmaintained, so
I don't think there is anyone around to answer questions about it,
the source code has to stand on it's own.

https://github.com/lojban/jbovlaste/tree/master/bin -- the "snarf"
scripts are the ones that were used for automated import. If you
can update one of those, great. If you can simply get things in the
same format as the main gismu list, I can probably make it work.
If there's someone around who isn't offended by Perl + Mason and
wants to help with jbovlaste, that'd be awesome.
Way *way* better, though, would be someone who wants to work on
its successor; we have various ideas floating around about how that
would look. It would be very interesting, hard work. We don't care
much what language you do it in, although selecting something that
other Lojbanists know and can tolerate would be good, and I have
some sense of what those are if people actually are interested.

The only thing I have is a document Tene and I worked on,
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1U6Q9u4_ZwqZzyy7MW-1dfpkx4oxlc0seF82zp2FlqzE/edit?hl=en_US
I would be more than happy to meet on skype or something and flesh
out the concepts (i.e. to work together to produce a more sane
document).

That's the one.
Or just tab-seperated with obvious fields. Parsing such a thing is
trivial next to the code for the actual import, which is already
basically written.

Why is it that these words deserve special consideration?

If I reject brito must I reject all of the gismu? Conversely,
if I reject whatever word means roughly the same thing as brito
in this word set, must I reject all of the words in this word
set?
I don't understand how your argument for regularity applies for
other "regular" sets of words, particularly when there is an
apparent conflict.
To be clear, I'm curious about your request to have all of these
words treated as a unit/special case, not about the words
themselves. (That conversation was had creating them.) In the far
future, if, say, we discover that gugde'usu is a very, very terrible
word (let's pretend that in that country's language it sounds
uncomfortably similar to baby raping), do we retroactively rescind
all of these words? Do we tell users of that word that this sound
does not mean what they think it means? Do we let the future deal
with the future's problems? Is "being created by one algorithm" a
sufficient reason to create a block of words? If so, is it a
sufficient reason to rescind/remove/destroy a block of words? Are
you willing to stand behind the removal of all of these words for
the same reason you're stating we should stand behind creating
them?

I need to request again that you preserve the threading of e-mail
messages when you reply to them. It is not clear at all to me
which message you reply to, when I read only your reply. I cannot
tell what this e-mail is in reply to.
Will you include the message you are replying to in your reply? I
will not be able to continue a conversation with you if I am
confused by the ordering of your messages.

By the way, I'd like to address that point. If one culture is objectively more influential on the average universe of discourse, why should it not have it's own gismu even if other cultures do not. Apple is a common enough thing that we have a gismu for it. Kumquat is obscure or not often referenced enough such that we say "make a lujvo/fu'ivla for it". This is not lojban being "biased" towards apples or against kumquats. It is lojban accurately reflecting the needs of its users. And if you're a kumquat lover or Nigerian and are offended, I appologize.
I think that, if they are entered, they should be entered with no votes. They
begin with a rafsi, but are not valid type-3 fu'ivla. And I agree that
they're nothing more than a useful backup. I'd much rather have each country
or language name individually crafted than all turned out by that algorithm.

While I disagree with najrut, I have to say that I really don't think it matters. I think I know Robin well enough to know it's not going to happen.
Robin hasn't even promised to upload the words. All he's said is basically, when he has the time, he might do it.
Doing anything beyond merely uploading them, any kind of special handling, would require even more time and effort.
Messing with jbovlaste in any way is very low on Robin's priority list, especially considering his desire for jbovlaste 2.0 to be created to replace it.
Conclusion: Robin might, /might/, at some time in the future upload all the ISO words to jbovlaste. But nothing more. But more likely, najrut will have to put them on there himself if he wants them there this year.
As to the words themselves, my reason for not wanting them is because when it comes to all or nothing situations, I prefer nothing. The conversation that spawned those two huge lists was about the cultural gismu, and the fact that some cultures had a gismu, whereas others did not, and that this was an example of Lojban /not/ being culturally neutral. It was decided that the only way to be culturally neutral was either for all cultures to have there own words, which resulted in a huge list of words based on ISO codes of counrties and languages, or for none to have their own word, which resulted in the creation of this list:
banra'a
klura'a
cemra'a
jdara'a
selgu'era'a
tutra'a
For example, {lu lo glibau to mintu la'oi English toi banra'a la'oi U.K. li'u mintu lu lo glibau cu brito lo bangu li'u .e zoi gy. English is the language of the U.K. .gy}.
Personally, I would much rather remember 6 words that can be used for /any/ cultural reference, than a huge slew of words that can each only be used for one.
Thanks all of you for the explanation. Now I think that it's even better to have those lists in separate dictionaries. No more questions about this import.
