=============================================================

In recent years, linguists across the world have realised the need to 
document endangered languages immediately, and to publish the raw data. This 
raw data can be transformed automatically (or with the help of volunteers) 
into resources for basic speech and language technology. It thus seems 
necessary to extend the scope of recent workshops on speech and language 
technology beyond technological questions of interoperability between digital 
resources:  the focus will be on the human aspect of creating and 
disseminating language resources for the benefit of endangered and 
non-endangered less-resourced languages.
