Isn't the point of this project to *get* them documented? I know that some of these, at least, are on a wiki page, I don't see any problem from putting the full list on that page.

Yes, (one of) the point(s) is to get them documented.  I guess I should rephrase my question:

For people who have been using the names of languages in various contexts, have you included these names on the wiki_, or are you just using them privately?

What I don't want to happen is that, in 2 years, this project comes to some conclusion and we all agree on a naming system that everyone is happy with and represents all of the languages of the world and someone jumps up and says, "Hey, but I've been using XYZ forever for ABC language!!"  It would be nice to know what is out there, now, and where what is out there is*.
