I could post of get a friend to post something inflammatory and that might
wake them. It has been quiet. But voynich@xxxxxxxx is the place to be. I
don't know if there are any others. Long ago self proclaimed shaman and
Wildman Terrence McKenna did something on it but nothing much came of it.
Rene is one of the contributors, and so are John Grove and others, and
soi-disant slavisists like me are too. You ask an interesting question as
to how many voynich groups are there. I mean there were interesting ideas
of having COLOR and IR images made but as the song goes: "We had so many
dreams and now they have faded out of view.".

Have Fun,
Sends Steve
