brief ILAT update...

[Susan Penfield]

All,

The Karuk language page is excellent --a good model for others- thanks Andre!

I just want to highlight the fact that ILAT is a great resource for everyone in
this field of study and work. I also want to offer a special thank you to 
Phil, who keeps it up and running in his spare time--a lot of hard work.
Thanks Phil!

> just a note on some of our recent discussions.  it was noted that 90% of
> one of our recent ILAT digest was repetition (repeated messages).  this
> means that old messages (the one's responded to) were included in most
> everyones discussion email.  for some of our digest subscribers, this
> presents an access problem in terms of text density and bandwidth.
> this can be easily (did i mention easily?) aleviated by being efficient
> and minimalist in our future email discussions (incude only the most
> essential elements that you are responding to).  thanx!

> never let our indigenous languages fade away!
