Excellent. I'm taking any proposals for texts, so if anyone wants to
send me one, email it to me privately - in your Conlang's latinized
orthography, IPA transcription, and a translation. Any texts will be
considered. Also, include the name of your conlang in the email you send
me. It doesn't matter whether the text is culture specific or not, just
something that is of good length and complexity. I'll make a formal
request to the whole list shortly.
