listserv migration and ILAT...

[Phillip E Cash Cash]

Greetings ILAT!

First a warm welcome to all the new subscribers: welcome!

Second, ILAT as a "listserv" within the Listserv framework (i.e. mailing
lists) is being phased out at the University of Arizona.  As all of you
well know, ILAT is a part of the UofA listserv system.  So we will
(voluntarily) plan to migrate to a new mailing list system starting in
July.  This email is simply an advance notice to inform you of this pending
migration.  We have several options we are exploring at the moment.  The
first and possibly the best options is:

ilat at endangeredlanguages.com

This is presently in the works and it looks quite promising.  We are also
examining the recommendations of the UofA listserv for additional options.
In any case, we will continue to retain the ILAT (Indigenous Languages and
Technology) identity.  The advantages of using a more up-to-date system is
numerous but the greatest need for ILAT is to have a searchable archive.
Right now, searching ILAT is a command-based search query which is fairly
"old school" and cumbersome.

Naturally, you will hear more of this (and in greater detail) in the coming
months!  But in the mean time continue to enjoy the fascinating discussions
here on ILAT.  Btw, just a nice little tidbit of trivia, ILAT turns 10 yrs
old in October!
