If two or more people actually learned a new language and had a
spontaneous, unplanned conversation in it, that would be big news.
The first Language Creation Conference was big news. Fans of particular
auxiliary languages have had gatherings since the days of Volapuk, but
the first LCC was, I think, the first time fans of experimental langs
and artistic langs had a gathering.
Let's see, what else... I view the publication of relevant books as
news. Not earth-shattering, but definitely noteworthy.
