The suggestions are not too bad considering it doesn't look like they have the experience I do. A lot of people studying "plain old" Earth languages could learn something about how all other real languages differ from English by looking at their list.
After many experiments with creating alphabets, I decided that not being able to type my language was a giant pain. My solution was that the native script is such a mess (hundreds of symbols) that after contact with humans they've switched for most things to a Roman-style alphabet, but not the English alphabet. Yes, I have my lap top set up so that I type into word processors directly in the language. That is a giant help when tweaking the grammar.
Esperanto prides itself on having it's grammar fit on a single page, but that's only because it assumes you understand Indo-European conventions. Mine runs about 20 pages with lots of examples and a couple pages of cheat sheet for things that work, but I find hard to remember.

You should set up a website with your language!
