Let me know if you figure out how.  His article about his use of
Taneraic was a major
influence on my decision to create gzb  and try to become fluent in it (though
not on any specific design decisions w.r.t. gzb), and I want to send him
my conlang fluency survey.

When I get around to analyzing the results of the survey and writing them up,
I'll send the results to you for JPL.  So far I don't think I have enough survey
responses to make any statistically significant correlations, though
-- it's less
than 30 responses.

BTW, when you say "articles that have not appeared elsewhere",
is it OK to send expanded/heavily revised versions of things that have
appeared in another form?   I expect my article on conlang fluency
will include some of the material from my "History of gjâ-zym-byn",

http://www.pobox.com/~jimhenry/gzb/history.htm

minus most of the details about the design of the language, plus
overviews of what other people have written publicly or told me in
survey responses about their fluency in their conlangs.
(And, if I get enough more responses to the survey to make
analysis meaningful, some statistical analysis of the responses.)
