<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Topic: Best and worst practice in Language
Documentation</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">There is much discussion of best practice
in language documentation but as we all know, no language documentation project
is perfect: each is the result of collaboration between researchers and a
community with restrictions on time, money and many unforeseen circumstances.
There is always a gap between what we achieve and the most wonderful project of
our dreams. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Come and tell us about your experiences.
What aspects of your language documentation work are you most proud of? What
will you do differently next time? And what are some of the great things you
have planned that you just couldn't get off the ground?</span></p>
