Hi all,
I really hope we can keep this conversation going. Like Domenico, I'm not an expert, but trying to learn as much as I can. Here's something of interest. Today and tomorrow there is a workshop, ComputEL on "The use of computational methods in the study of endangered languages http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~jcgood/ComputEL.html" as part of the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics. I thought you might find the schedule interesting.
Best, A.

I think the idea of a working group is very interesting, although personally I would try to connect to existing activities and initiatives. For example the Maaya network for linguistic diversity (http://maayajo.org), or the wonderful terralingua.org project.
I'm not an expert of endangered languages, but this semester I was co-teaching a course module on biocultural diversity with biologist and environmentalist Marcello Buiatti. You can find our syllabus here: http://economia.uniroma2.it/public/gobalGov/files/Ethic%281%29.pdf
Buiatti, among other things, is author with Vandana Shiva and others of the "law of the seed": http://navdanya.org/attachments/lawofseed.pdf
Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more! I can send the slides of my course and other materials.
Ciao!
Domenico

I agree with you Stuart. Perhaps you would like to propose a working
group.
I know others in the list would love to help you out. David Golumbia,
for
example, has done fantastic work in this regard.
Perhaps we should start another thread just on this subject.
Best, Alex.
