ILAT

ILAT (for Indigenous Languages and Technology) is "an open forum for community language specialists, linguists, scholars, and students to discuss issues relating to the uses of technology in language revitalization efforts." It was founded by Phil Cash Cash in 2002. It is part of a project hosted at the University of Arizona that has grown - see the Technology Enhanced Language Revitalization home page for more info.

The original list archives are apparently offline. However, ILAT's archives are have been mirrored on Linguist List through October 2014.

I joined in 2003 and a list of messages I have contributed follows:
