        I agree.  I think that the most important thing that a
conlang.org site could do is provide web space for constructed language
descriptions (if only so I don't have to deal with all those annoying
pop-up windows at geocities -- aurgh).
        A "conlang registry" might be nice as well -- a user-driven
database thingy that contains a link to and description of the
constructed language (that would be easily modifyable by the language's
author).  Something like that would be relatively trivial to program in,
say, perl.
