I'd very much like to see these, but if someone can convert them to
another format (perhaps pdf, html, or rtf) it'd make it easier for me
to view them.  If that's not possible (depends on whether they have
anything tricky in them, generally) never mind - I can probably handle
the Word documents, it's just a little less convenient.

As for the Files section at the Yahoo site... it's quite easy to
access files, and probably to upload them, so long as you are
registered as a member of the group.  But since the Yahoo group is
just an appendage to the real list, most conlang members aren't
registered, and there's no reason why they should be (particularly if
they don't use any other Yahoo groups).
