Okay, I mentioned Rejistanian already, but I think I should write a few things about it:

Rejistanian, it is an artlang and fauxlang (an auxlang for a fictional country)
> 2. what is the URL for any online documentation in said conlang(s);

it is still horribly outdated, but an outline is at
http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=Rejistanian

Updated info, short texts and songs in rejistanian, also the constitution of
Rejistania if it ever gets finished.

My first idea was: To snicker at the mistakes of a newbie ;)
But actually: It is rather easy but I found it to be interesting since it can
express certain things better than English or German can. I remember when I talked
to my fiance and he said something, and I immediately saw it in front of me in
rejistanian and thought it would sound awesome (and he agreed after I translated
it word for word for him).
It does not require you to be able to use Unicode since 18 letters, ' and ~ and
the punctuation characters are everything you need.
Even though it is a simple language, it is not only yet another language which
simply repeats all concepts of English or German.
