                http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,54345,00.html

    Edupage and Wired magazine recently reminded us of this Long Now Foundation
    project to preserve the wealth of the world's languages. With a goal of
    creating a "meaningful survey and near permanent archive of 1,000
    languages," the project is also aiming at curating word lists for all 7,000
    human languages within three years (they are currently at 1,200).

    But of course this opens many preservation questions. The Wired article
    quotes Gary Simons, coordinator of the Open Language Archives Community
    <http://www.language-archives.org/>, who comments on the importance of
    archiving data captured by contemporary field linguistics "in stable
    formats by stable institutions."
