      The problem with the auxlang movement is that they are run mainly by people with no project management skills and who have unrealistic prioritization in the language design. Zamenhof had made Esperanto successful due to his williness to collaborate with others on the Esperanto project, the lack of ownership of Esperanto that provides similar advantages to Linux/Unix project, and the restriction on unnecessary revision to the project goals.
