Subject: New ISCA SIG:  SALTMIL

                Announcing a new ISCA SIG:  SALTMIL
                ===================================

   SALTMIL:  "Speech And Language Technology for MInority Languages"
   =================================================================


The start of the new academic year sees the start of the SALTMIL Special
Interest Group within ESCA (now ISCA).  The group's initial activities
are as follows:  more activities will ensue later.


1)  Email discussion list
-------------------------

The first activity is an email discussion list.  As a preliminary
measure, a new list has been created at the US website www.onelist.com.
There are two possible ways to subscribe to the SALTMIL list:

a)  Point your web browser to http://www.onelist.com/community/saltmil
    and follow the link to subscribe;
                 or
b)  Send a blank email to saltmil-subscribe at onelist.com
    A message with further details will be automatically sent to you.

This list is free, but carries commercial advertising in a brief section
at the end of each message.  However, until we can migrate to a
non-commercial server this will be adequate.  The discussions can be
followed through email, and also through a Web browser at the Onelist
site.


2)  SALTMIL web page
--------------------

The provisional SALTMIL website is currently at
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/SALTMIL

Please send any material you would like to add to the web pages to:
briony at cstr.ed.ac.uk
This could include details of your work, or a link to your web pages.

We hope very much that many colleagues will join in the discussions and
share their knowledge and experience with others who are also working in
the field of speech and language technology for minority languages.
