The ones I know of, or were in Isaac Pensev’s 23rd workshop review (8.06.2003), are: * amerindconlangs, * concreole, * celticonlang, * eastasianconlang, * engelang (engineered, a la Lojban), * germaniconlang, * pieconlang (proto-indo-european), * slaviconlang, * westasianconlang (23rd simply because that’s what comes up in the search.)

I’m not sure it’s a good idea. The membership is not overlapping; the main posters on germaniconlang are not members here, for instance. I don’t think it’s ever been off-topic for people to post workshop topics here. So in practice, there’d be no real change. Just, no-one should feel that there’s a problem posting here on these topics, especially when we’re mostly off-topic. -- Tristan.
