The zipped archive is only 732K. Wonderful! Well, in that case I support the idea of moving. > Any volunteers for hosting it? Yes, I have plenty of space at http://steen.free.fr/... I can place it there. Although I agree with Padraic's suggestion to upload it into the files section of the new group. > We could now move to another mailing list that doesn't begin with > "romance" and that has a real owner. And I am prepared to serve as its moderator. If nobody objects, I will create the new group tomorrow or the day after tomorrow (today I can't do it, because my connection is terribly slow right now). As for the name, I will create a small poll (no more than one or two days) in order to give the members who follow this discussion the occasion to vote for a name. Personally, I am inclined towards either "italicconlang" (with 2 c's to avoid confusion), "romconlang" or "romanceconlang2". With your permission, I will automatically add all current members of this group to the new group (excluding spammers like Mr. B. Zhang). Unless, of course, someone else wants to do the job. Anyway, a co-owner would be desirable, I believe. Jan ===== "Originality is the art of concealing your source." - Franklin P.
