Yeah. The comments on specific languages could also be anonymous. Here is
another idea: there could be a top ten list for each category - site looks,
thouroughness of documentation, uniqueness/originality of the conlang, etc,
and there could be an overall top ten. More sites would have a chance...

I'm sure there are some poeple that could whip up a beautiful site design
with a pathetic language (meaning they don't put any thought into it)... i
wouldn't want them to win! And, since the list would be updated every two
months, if you didn't make it into the list this time, you could make your
documentation more thourough for next time... I need to get working on
Malat, there's really not that much on my page!
