Many attempts have been made, so far all attempts have failed. One
possible reason is that "conlang faq" is construed to mean "a faq about
conlanging, how to conlang and all things linguistic", instead of "a faq
about the weirdities and in-jokes of the conlang-l mailing list as
currently served on listserv.brown.edu, with historical footnotes for
when it was hosted elsewhere." The latter is potentially a finite
document, the former is certainly not.
