Hiya! I have a new idea. I can't really make it at the minute but if some of you guys want to try, I hope that it goes really well! The idea is that a group of us form a TP charity trust (just a not-for-profit organization, really). The main role of this group would be to make new books in and about tp in various languages (some bi-lingual in an attempt to attract new learners) and sell them, then use the money to buy pu and their own books off whatever platform is in use and distribute them for free in libraries that will accept them (particularly school libraries where groups can take root) and among new learners (and probs have plenty of competitions to get books too). What do you think of this? It could be considered crazy, but it could work!

ni li ijo kama la ken la ni kin li ken kama (toki Inli taso):
Here are some more ideas, if this ever comes about:
-A competition for short stories/poems - the winner gets a particular book, and the work in the competition is (legally) made into a sellable book of its own
-Artists could contribute to the making of picture books, similar to jan Same's awesome "Elephant in the room" story
-Or, as above, comics!
-With Sonja's permission, pu could be translated into multiple other languages (including Esperanto of course ) and distributed in areas that speak those languages
-Indie games could be created, or there could be a translation team that takes existing games and contacts developers and translates their games for free (or, if at a cost, the cost goes back to the trust)
-The trust could support the use of TP in other books/stories (as we have seen in that sci-fi novel that popped up a while ago, and that cute tv show)
-Not just books, but songs could be shared around/written, too!
-Eventually, maybe short movies and animations could be made in toki pona
sa!mla (suli a! mi lukin ala): kulupu sin li ken pali e ijo mute pi toki pona li ken esun e ijo ni li ken pana e pu e ijo ni tawa tomo lipu en jan sin en ijo ante, kepeken mani pi tan esun. sina pilin e seme tawa ni?
TL;DR: A group for making tp content, selling it, and using the money to buy pu and their stuff and distribute it to libraries and newcomers etc. What do you think?
