1) Should there be a poll (as already suggested),
I'd vote for 'lablang'.
2) I'm a little bit lost. How did it all begin? I recall
the name Gnoli, a triangle, the need for a new '???lang' word...
WAIT!! Found something:
"We need a word for languages like Vorlin, Dublex and BrSc."
So, what exactly will the new word stand for? BTW, are 'conlang',
'artlang' and the like 'words' or is there a more precise word
(sorry, couldn't avoid this :)?
3) Feels like we are witnesses to the dawn of a new word
('bloom' or 'blossom' would also fit, I guess, but I
prefer 'dawn').
This is History, isn't it? Some years from now, people
will look back in time and say: "That's where it all
began" (Hmm... Starship Troopers? ;)
IMHO, we should put up a page on things like these.
"Memories"? "Memoirs"? No? Oh, well...
