I think some of us here definitely have different goals.

I don't agree with Olivier:

...and this does not interest me at all.

Another case where I do not think there could be a language that would
satisfy him and me at the same time.  Can we still split into groups, like
the proposal to split into an auxlang and an artlang group?  Because I 
want something at least as complex as Asha'ille, and as far as pronunciation 
goes I hope it should use the IPA and not some fake "closest sound in 
English" method!
