Email from Zelos:

I thought I would tell about a recent conlang wiki that is growing, http://conlang.wikkii.com/wiki/Main_Page it moved from the oldhttp://conlang.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page . We are somewhat small now but are working on becoming a great source for conlang information.

Best Regards, Zelos
