Question on assessing technology for endangered language communities

[phil cash cash]

Sometime ago, there has been interest expressed to me offline 
concerning the use
of SecondLife, a virtual user environment, to support language 
learning.  I am
not a SecondLife user (no time!) but like most technology there is the
challenge of how one creates "context" for learning or for 
participation.  The
limitations may appear obvious at the outset but has anybody addressed (e.g.
discussions or thru research) how virtual reality may be used as an endangered
language learning option?!   This seems like the next step in the not so
distant future...
