The Endangered Languages Catalog project (ELCat) (fwd link)

[Phil Cash Cash]

Greetings,

I'm thinking that such a project was highly inevitable given the  
intensity of advocacy/scientific awareness these days.  Within the  
news article is a link to the NSF project description, so take a look.

It is soo heartbreaking to know that many endangered language  
communities have very little recognition and support.  So I am very  
excited for this project and give a shout out to all the endangered  
languages and speech communities that deserve very much to be  
recognized!  Such a project will do this I believe.
