Technical administrivia

...more Technical administrivia.

Soon, I hope to have an ILAT web-site interface where it would be
possible to direct people to, post information, links, and "memos" of
the kind Eric is speaking of.

For example, it would be possible to have memos of the kind:

"Maliseet-passamaquoddy character encoding for the internet"
"Nez Perce character encoding for the interenet"

More as we progress.

ps: In the next few days, I will post a background statement on how I
and others have envisioned the purpose of this list.  Stay tuned!
