Is there a(n) (p)ieconlang group? I don't have much of anything to offer
romconlang, I fear, but I think there are enough of us that make IE langs,
each of their own branch or sub-branch, that a few useful conversations
could be had.

I don't recall ever seeing much Wenedyk, but maybe I just never made the
cognitive leap to try and actually read it, rather than reading the
interlinear.
