[Lowlands-l] Call for help

[Lowlands Languages & Cultures]

Hello Karl, what you suggest has been in some way already done, I think, 
in the Lowlands-L anniversary project with the wren story, here: 
http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/ and 
http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/contents-de.php. What the chinese 
colleague tries is something like the same with numbers. Or am I wrong?

Hartlich
