Of interest to Native language preservation efforts, I think...

<<
The Rosetta Project is a global collaboration of language specialists and
native speakers working to develop a contemporary version of the historic
Rosetta Stone. In this updated iteration, our goal is a meaningful survey
and near permanent archive of 1,000 languages. Our intention is to create a
unique platform for comparative linguistic research and education as well
as a functional linguistic tool that might help in the recovery or
revitalization of lost languages in unknown futures.

We are creating this broad language archive through an open contribution,
open review process and we invite you to participate. The resulting archive
will be publicly available in three different media: a micro-etched nickel
disk with 2,000 year life expectancy; a single volume monumental reference
book; and through this growing online archive.
