I can do Oriental binding.  All it takes is a drill and string. :)

I also like the idea of some kind of repository of discarded or aborted
projects, minor langauges and such.  Projects more or less "dead and
buried", not intermediate levels of works-in-progress. I'm thinking of a
series of short monographs hilighting the background, history, grammar and
text of these various langauges; set up something like "An Intro. to the
IE Langs." or "Old English and its Closest Relatives". Time and resources
allowing, I'd like to take this one.

Someday, an Encyclopaedia of Constructed Langauges might be nice...
