I got this today from "Mercator", a group I never heard anything about
before. Does somebody on the list know more about it?

Mercator’s working papers.
The aim of this initiative is to offer the Mercator:Linguistic Rights and
Legislation research and information network users a series of research
works or short articles in progress concerning linguistic rights,
legislation and policies, mainly focusing on the use of lesser used
languages in public life spheres. As far as we are dealing with a European
project, we are specially interested in those works comparing or
contrasting the situation of different languages, regions or states within
Europe. We principally address to experts in the fields of sociolinguistics
and law who may be interested in participating in a collection which will
be either spread through internet or in paper, by means of the Mercator
network, which is comprised of several world-wide non-governmental
organizations, as well as of local, regional and international academic
institutions.
If you are interested in participating, or if you want further information
on the conditions, please do not hesitate in contacting: mercator at troc.es
