Subject: [RNLD] What's missing?

Hi all,
Apologies for cross-posting.

Below is a quick-and-dirty audit of existing web resources for Australian languages.

Please tell me! Is there a general or particular demand out there for a web-based resource that is not already being met by these sites?
If Tinkerbell granted you one web-based wish what would it be?  Eg, Do we need a broad public discussion forum for languages? More email lists? Something else?

Site

Service

Main audience

RNLD

Archived email list for issues in language endangerment and technical questions about language documentation; links, news etc

Linguists, language activists

AIATSIS

Austlang, Aseda, Ozbib, Language and People Thesaurus, etc.

Speakers, linguists

Language centre websites (various)

Information about Australian languages at a regional level. Some have online dictionaries and other resources.

Speakers, public

Facebook

Language-specific social networking groups

Speakers

David Nathan’s site

Links to web resources for Australian languages including newspaper articles

Public, linguists, speakers

Wikipedia

Numerous detailed entries on Australian languages

Public, linguists, speakers

(NB. Obviously linguists and speakers can be one and the same, and everyone is a member of the public!)


Many thanks,

Piers
