Abstract
Many of the linguistically most competent Esperanto speakers believe that neither of the two dominant dictionaries PIV and ReVo is fully trustworthy, and that advanced learners should use these dictionaries with care. At the same time learners now often look for advice in Internet forums such as Lingva Konsultejo on Facebook or the bilingual (English/Esperanto) forum Esperanto Language StackExchange. There linguistically competent Esperanto speakers give recommendations about language usage which are often more useful than the information that can be found in the dominant dictionaries. In this paper I propose Forumo-Vortaro, an Internet platform that aims at developing the content of PIV and/or ReVo with a wiki-like system which would include a forum for discussing specific linguitic questions, and which would systematicall give more weight to the opinions and proposals for revision coming from linguistically competent contributors in comparison with those from linguistically less competent contributors.
