Cool site! Yes, I think it can be very useful, because everything is
categorized nicely and easily accessible for anyone interested.

I don't know. Of course, there are inventories of links to individual
conlangs(you have one too, haven't you?), but that's a different story.

No, don't remove anything. Just add, add, add...

I like such sites. Of course, Langmaker and Richard Kennaway's list have been
mentioned. I like Dean Easton's inventory too:

Undoubtedly, a lot of things will turn up by themselves. There are several
sites dealing with IPA, ASCII/IPA, Unicode, Fontmaking programs, online
dictionaries, grammars & courses of interestings natlangs...
And I would certainly include links to all possible email lists, Yahoo! groups,
etc. that are dealing with conlangs. If you like, I can collect the addresses
for you.
Keep up the good work!
