No conlang is dead if someone is still reading up on it, though it seems like a couple decades since I last heard of this one.  But Carter was still on some lists a couple of years ago, so keep looking.  (I confess I never looked at it, since it was politically incorrect when it first started out and I forgot all about it later.)

First of all, sorry if this doesn't belong here, but I'm trying to find more info about gua\spi, and I know for a fact that at least some jbopre had some involvement with it. (And it's a sister language of lojban)
I read the "Introduction to Gua\spi" and the "Gua\spi Reference Manual", but I felt that those texts were not enough to really get to a point where I could even construct a single bridi. In fact, had I not had a lojbanic background, I would probably not have understood any of it.
I read that the inventor James Carter is not working on the language anymore, but maybe he'd be interested in getting back into it, if there was an audience of interested people.
I know that John Cowan came to Lojban *from* Gua\spi, so please, could you share some of your experiences with the langauge and maybe even point me in some direction? (I really hope the language is *not* hopelessly dead, like another conlang I once wanted to learn, only to find out that the author had abandonned it.)
If anybody knows of any other learning materials for this langauge, and a more easily searchable dictionary, I'd be very grateful to be made aware of them.
