I can safely speak for everyone when I say that we're all looking
forward
to that. A couple dozen years of experience must show something.

I hope nobody has been waiting with 'bated breath!
I still haven't put my notes into coherent form.
As for my conlanging experience ... it has been done with only a little
knowledge of formal linguistics terminology, and with little continuity
between efforts.
My current conlang is an experiment -- I'm trying a few things out
liguistically in order to understand them better. Lexical items are
invented and dropped at a moment's notice, and it's not intended to fit
a conculture. A couple of my design criteria are
1) it has to be something I can pronounce without too much effort,
2) the lexical items should mostly be things I can remember easily.
More later.
