The Conlang Rescue Project is a one-man attempt to "bring back" information on many conlangs which was lost during the fall of LangMaker. It was begun on 20 October 2011. Currently being handled by bornfor, this project will probably bring several hundred new pages to FrathWiki over the coming months.
How does it work?
bornfor recently discovered that some older versions of the LangMaker website are accessible via the Internet Archive. Seeing an opportunity to free "lost" information, bornfor has begun moving information from that archive into Frathwiki's database.
Why bother?
Some of the languages on LangMaker do not have information stored anywhere else on the net. Some of them have been mostly forgotten already. bornfor sees this as a minor tragedy, and is attempting to bring information on these languages back so that everyone can see and enjoy reading about them.
What kind of languages?
Not all con* projects are being brought from LangMaker. Only those which have a text sample or some grammatical sketch are being brought to FrathWiki. No alternative orthographies are being brought over at this time.
I'm an owner of one of these languages, and I don't want it here.
Please let bornfor know, or tag the page for deletion, and it will be removed as quickly as is possible. You can easily blank the page by signing in and just deleting all the content on it, if "as quickly as is possible" is not fast enough. Blanking the page will leave a hollow page which will be deleted soon afterward.
How will I know which pages have been brought over already?
If you're wondering whether a specific page is here as a result of the Conlang Rescue Project, then just look for the template at the bottom of the page:
| This article is part of the Conlang Rescue Project. This work is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.5 ( Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Unported License ). |
If you're wondering how many pages have been brought over already by the Project, please check the category page.
I have a question about this.
Please leave a message on this page's talk page, or on bornfor's talk page, and a response will be gotten to you as soon as possible.
