There is no AL community.
There is a large Esperanto community, which has already chosen an IAL, 
and is busily applying it.
There are also some other inventors, tinkerers etc. who do not accept
Esperanto, and therefore work to improve or replace it. Is there an
"Interlingua community" or "Eurolang community" or "Ido-Komunumo"?
