Jbofi'e's often nonexistent error messages are extremely frustrating,

to be sure. Lojgloss should never have that. (It does happen sometimes, but those are always bugs that are usually pretty simple to fix.)

So I'm wondering how many of you would be satisfied with (A) simply knowing how far into the parsed text the parser got (the more advanced students of Lojban, I assume), i.e. *where* the error happened, and how many of you would like to (B) have more detail, in the form of a somewhat cryptic tree of parsing information that can potentially assist you, but might require a bit of puzzling over.

BTW, I'm looking into permanent external hosting for Lojgloss, which is currently run from my home machine, and currently down (because of my mabla ISP).

Is it possible to have both? jbofi'e for one and Lojgloss for the other? Or are you asking about replacing one with the other?

What I'm asking is whether I should bother making the detailed error messages in Lojgloss, or just settle for the basic ones. There will always be jbofi'e, of course. (Though I am to replace it in practice.)

I prefer as much detail as I can get, where it breaks and why, possibly how to fix it.
