Neat idea!>>>

Noted. If people are interested, I'll try.

Perhaps dormant, but sometimes having outbursts of enormous activity.>>>

By word "dormant" I meant "showing no activity withing last week" :)

<<<As I wrote to you on Slavi ~, I doubt whether broadening the range of
langs is
really a solution. How many conlangs are based on the examples you give
above?>>>

Even if there are none now, they may appear in future, even today!

<<<And then there is the question: when I have something to say about my
Slavo-Romance conlang Wenedyk, should I post it to Romance~, to Slavi~ or to
Conlang?
I've been cross-posting for a while, but it means that many people get the
same
message two or even three times. I prefer to avoid that. So after all I
would
post to the list from which I get most response.>>>

I'm 100% in your shoes with my Rumiya, only istead of Slavi~ I need
WestAsian~.
I have not yet come to any reasonable solution. Your variant sounds good.
But I'll try to experiment for a while by using *different* groups for
discussing *different* aspects of the *same* language. You'll certainly get
more qualified advices on Slavic part of Wenedyk at Slavi~, rather then at
Romance~, and v.v. And the CONLANG List may be used in this case for more
general discussions, IMMHO.

<<<But then again, if such a regional list is dormant for a while, it
certainly
does not mean that it is dead.>>>

Surely!

<<<
> If you know any other Regional Conlang Workshop, just tell the Snakie!
Not regional, but there are a few other conlang groups as well: Langmaker 2,
Artificial Language 2, Langmakercafe... The first two are quite active,
although I fail to see any real difference with Conlang.
And of course, there are groups in other languages than English: Ideolengua,
Ougloupo>>>

Wow! I'm everywhere (except Langmakercafe, and went nomail in Artificial-2
to avoid discussing politics)!
But if there are no other "regional branches", then we have vacancies!

NEEDED: Moderators and participants for not-yet-covered regions/families:
-- Germanic;
-- North Caucasian and Kartvelian;
-- Black Africa;
-- Paleo-Siberian and Native American;
-- Australia et Oceania!

Divide et impera? Shall I claim adding Armenian to my W.A.~, or give Pavel
the chance to incorporate it in his Slavi~?

<<< the Russian group you once linked me to (does it work BTW?)...>>>

No. Too little ppl.
