I would love to see a whole basketful of ideas from all
directions, but especially from communities, that can be archived
and thus disseminated widely. I wonder if anyone could do a talk
about resources for language education/revitalization - sort of a
bibliographic component to the program?

These are three great topics, taken individually as well as together.
A talk about someone's experiences in working out the limits/scope of
such a project with community members would be very helpful, I'll bet,
for people who would like to do something but are afraid of taking on
more than they can handle.

1a subsumes my bibliography idea. Could we get some kind of overview
presentation? What are the genres of materials that are commonly requested
by communities? What media are being used in what environments?

Then a few talks for 1b presenting specific examples & experiences. This
is where Andrea Berez' activities in Alaska would come in, for example.
(Oops - I need to forward that one, too.) 

Can we identify some people for the overview-ish talks? Remember, they
have to be people who would be coming to LSA anyway, since we never
have funds for travel.
