Folks,

The OLAC (Open Language Archives Community) organization and its website
may be of interest to quite a few of you:

OLAC, the Open Language Archives Community, is an international
partnership of institutions and individuals who are creating a worldwide
virtual library of language resources by: (i) developing consensus on
best current practice for the digital archiving of language resources,
and (ii) developing a network of interoperating repositories and
services for housing and accessing such resources.

Great!  Tak ska' Du ha', Kenneth.  The only gripe I have with those
presentations is that they do not follow the original distinctions
between <d> and <ð> and between <b> and a barred <b>.  Even if they
can't find a barred <b> in a font (which I can't either) they can
represent the letter by another letter and explain this substitution.
Ignoring the distinctions does not seem a good idea to me.  Hopefully
this can be remedied.  Otherwise: great!

Cheers!
Reinhard/Ron
