Actually, I do, but that's probably because I've been active on
Langmaker lately! :)

As Padraic explained, we used to have a separate group called
"romanceconlang", but there were two problems with it: it attracted
too many people who apparently were misguided by the first half of
the name, and the group was ownerless. So, it became a target for
spammers, and that was so annoying that we decided to move and create
a new group. The reason why we picked "romconlang" is that it belongs
to a family of related groups (germaniconlang, slaviconlang,
celticonlang, uraliconlang etc.), and that the name "romlang" might
also include Romance natlangs.

What I did find remarkable in the genealogy though, is that it
doesn't mention the word "Romance"!

In any case, the language has a nice look-and-feel. Indeed, it
definitely evokes Italian recollections rather than Spanish! But you,
as an Italian (right?) may of course have a completely different
idea. BTW, I think "con-dialects" are far too rare in our art...
