Note on geocities.com sites

Yahoo has announced that they're going to close Geocities later this year (2009-10-26), presumably resulting in a loss of data on conlangs (etc.) documented only on Geocities. I (Jim Henry) am saving offline copies of several conlangs' Geocities pages with wget, including all the conlangs listed above which are hosted on Geocities, plus Rex May's Ceqli. If Geocities goes down before we vote on what conlang to learn and you want copies of the Vabungula, Voksigid, Ilomi, or Adelic websites, let me know.
