Actually, we tried this last year, but the process broke down in
bickering over exactly which auxlangs should be included on the shirt. I
myself was kind of pissed of, since I didn't think that *any* auxlangs
should be included unless they were created by listmembers. I'd offer to
re-start the t-shirt process myself, but I've hardly got time to
practice piano these days. I'd love to see it happen again, though, now
that my languages are at a better state of development.
