A very interesting and well made questionnaire.
I would encourage to add your belonging to Lowland-List.
Greetings.

Dear Lowlanders,

This sounds like a wonderful project.  I encourage all those interested in
Scots (and/or Gaelic) to respond to the appeal and support the project.
The site is well presented.  Quite some time ago I collaborated with
Caoimhín Ó Donnaíle (caoimhin at smo.uhi.ac.uk) on his page series
"Mion-chànanan na h-Eòrpa / European minority languages"
(http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/saoghal/mion-chanain/Failte_en.html) which
appears to be presented on the same server.  I can't tell if Caoimhín will
be directly involved in the planned project, but I expect he will be.  I
found him to be very passionate about the Celtic languages, with an open
mind for and a supportive attitude toward other minority languages of
Europe, and with sincerity in his endeavors and responsiveness in
collaboration.

It is encouraging to see that the college is willing to embark on this
endeavor.  I wish there were similar levels of engagement with regard to
other Lowlands languages.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
