Who speaks toki pona?
JanMato | 2010

toki pona is an artificial language uses for amusement and entertainment on mailing lists, internet forums, blogs and the like. Typical users are geographically located in North America, Europe and Russia. The typical toki pona user is also fluent two or more other natural languages.

While several thousand people have heard of it or expressed casual interest in it, only a few dozen have learned it well enough to write something original and post it to the internet. I estimate that about 50 to 100 people have contributed to the public toki pna corpus (the set of all public writings in toki pona).

Unlike Esperanto, Lojban or Klingon, the toki pona does not at the moment have a significant in person community, yet.

What sources do you all consider to be "canon"?
janMato | December 2009

Official Sources.
We've got incomplete versions of the tokipona.org site in the Wayback machine since Feb 2002.
We've got the 2009 wiki version, which I think is a public work in progress as of Dec 2009.

Canon by Community Repute: Wikipedia, As much of an authority as it is for anything on Wikipedia
We've got 100s of versions of the wikipedia article since April 2002 and todays version. Today's version can change at any moment and the result will depend on the people who care enough to edit.

Canon by Community Repute: First among equal fan sites
Jan Pije's lessons.

Canon by Data: Attested usages
Attested usage is the various attempts to use the language. If no one has used a particular phrase (or uses it rarely), then it might be wrong. If it has been used over a long period of time, then it might be right. Its the difference between de jure and de facto law.

Canon by Data: Opinion of "fluent" speakers
Its probably an uncontroversial fact that there are fluent Russian and English speakers, who they are and that if asked these speakers can say if a sentence is valid Russian or English. We probably could argue over who is fluent, or if their opinion counts. It might be a while before we can check grammaticality and get consensus from such a survey.

Am I missing any sources of canon, or failing that, techniques for answering, "What is toki pona and what is not toki pona?"

I learned Toki Pona vocabulary using Memrise. When I did the course it had 117 words. It appears that someone had recently (beginning of May) conveniently updated it adding 3 new items (pi, esun and pan). Imagine my surprise and panic when I opened my lipu lawa on Memrise and a course that I had completed was suddenly *incomplete* 😮 o tempora o mores!
