Yes!!! Mark Rosenfelder's (sp?) FAQ is good, but there is so much more
that can be added to it. Perhaps the Conlang Journal (speaking of which,
where is the first edition?? *glances at Christophe*) can actually be
*printed* and distributed to list members. Or perhaps printed by list
members and distributed to like-minded friends. :-) After all, I believe
Christophe is using LaTeX to typeset it, and LaTeX does produce quality
good enough for printing into real books.

Wait, wasn't there an effort along these lines sometime ago? I seem to
recall somebody on the list soliciting for ideas/help/articles for a book
which was to be published?

Well, there's that Scattered Tongues webring thingy, but honestly I
haven't used it, and it surely needs a facelift.
