"Hey everyone,

"I'm seeking people to collaborate on a conlang project.  The idea is to
make a noun-incorporating, polysynthetic language.  In other words, about as
far from English as possible :)  (Not much detail, since I'd like input from
those who will (hopefully) join in.)  I'd like to have at least one other
person on board so there can be some dialogue between/among us in the
language as it is developed -- after all, that's what a language is for! If
anyone is interested, let me know and we'll get started! :)

"Hmm... no one is interested?

"I've been investigating North American languages lately, and I think this
project will have a faux resemblance to them."

I'm interested! :) Taking ideas from North American languages will r'ly be
an eye-opener - I'm so used to English and French... :P I tried making a
polysynthetic language once but gave up - with other people working on the
language too, I think things will be alot easier :)

Me too. I think a new conlang will jog those old brain cells... :P

Fantastic! I'm really looking forward to this! :D I think it'll be r'ly
enjoyable and educational! Please let us know when the page is ready, so we
can get to work ASAP! :))
