Various Web references for attendees at SACC 19, including fonts, keyboard
definition, computer-aided dialect adaptation of texts, dicitonary software,
etc.
The home page for the Linguist list:

The archive page for the Siouan list:

You can subscribe, or just look at the archives from time to time.
Here's the basic SIL computing page:

The list of Windows software specifically is at:
http://www.sil.org/htbin/search-softcat.pl?kw=Windows
This is the font package I recommend ($100 US for individuals):

SIL provides some free IPA fonts made with this:

Sample Siouan fonts that I have made with it can be found at:
http://www.colorado.edu/ling/cesnalps/Services/ssfonts.htm
(These are in an incomplete set of web pages for CeSNaLPS, the Plains
language center at the U. of Colorado.)
Here is the keyboard definition tool that SIL provides. I used it to make
keyboards for at least some of the fonts above.

SIL's freeware dictionary database and interlinear text annotater is
Shoebox:
http://www.sil.org/computing/catalog/shoebox.html
I think this is the tool I've used before to convert the dictionary files,
etc., to MS Word for printing in fancy ways:
http://www.sil.org/computing/catalog/sfc.html
This is the parsing tool that looks most likely to work with Siouan
languages, though I've never used it:
http://www.sil.org/computing/catalog/sfc.html
This is the software that lets you do acoustic analysis of sound files:

The Siouan Archives version of the Bushotter Texts are at:
http://www.colorado.edu/ling/cesnalps/Projects/SA/saindex.htm
(These need some work to be more usefully formatted.)
SIL pages dealing with CARLA (aka CADA), or Computer Aided Dialect
Adaptation:

The tools for doing CARLA are Ample (see above) and Stamp:
