Actually, Vorlin was designed as an IAL, though its creator has
since abandoned auxlangs, and therefore abandoned Vorlin.  He has
left us a website (http://www.vorlin.org/) as a historical
reference, and there is still a dormant Yahoo group
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vorlin/).  This was one of the few
auxlangs, I actually liked well enough to want to learn, but it just
wasn't developed enough, nor did it have any community to converse
with, so I ultimately began work on my own world auxlang Sasxsek, as
well as a number of other projects
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dana_Nutter_Conlangs) which I
may or may not finish someday depending on how much time my other
interests take up.
