Hey Scott and David,
Cheers for that information :)
While at first the fact there is no current standard does make things
intimidating, I would have to say that I can understand the current situation of
the Folkspraak project. I'm an amateur linguist at best, so I don't know how
much practical help I'll be, but I'll stick by and wait for the best constructed
language that has ever existed ;)

And I've seen Frenkisch and Middelsprake before, good work on them by the way!

(and in regards to reinventing the wheel, I don't think I'd be doing that, any
auxlangs I try to design are generally aimed at different groups or just for fun
:) )

Just some varieties/dialects, none of which I would call complete or viable yet.
What we really need at this stage are members who are willing to contribute,
people with some experience in Germanic linguistics to help research and build
up the vocabulary. Fresh ideas are also welcome. Although before re-inventing
the wheel and creating one's own "dialect" of FS, please consider looking at
what is already in place and see if you can contribute anything to improve them.
