[RNLD] Summary: What's missing?

[Piers Kelly]

Hi all,
Many thanks for your responses, and for pointing out obvious sites that I
forgot all about.

Here's a summary of what people wanted:

   - truly accessible digital repository based at AIATSIS for finding and
   obtaining real resources on the model of PARADISEC
   - consistently updated list of language activity and language
   organisations within Australia
   - online publishing tools
   - That someone would come along and do up a deadly website for the
   Ngukurr Language Centre (see Greg Dickson)
   -  Access to web designers that are experts in working on Indigenous
   language content and provide services that are subsidised and so low-cost
   to Indigenous orgs
   - something interactive for schools (primary esp) that I could build in
   to our learning across the curriculum and that encourages critical thinking
   etc - see studyladder.com.au for a free online resource for general
   school subjects for an (but not the best) example. Of course, it would have
   to be totally local and there are all the matters that need to be
   considered with respect to control/access etc,

And here's a summary of what's already available:
