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.

I think it's worth thinking of another kind of multilingualism: language revival and endangered languages.
At the NZETC we have a wonderful corpus He Pātaka Kupu Ture / The Legal Māori Archive which resulted from our engagement with Māori language revivalists.
Pretty much wherever you are in the world (except perhaps England), there are local indigenous languages and language communities struggling to bolster their languages. These communities are typically under-served by digital tools.

extremely interesting to coordinate this with the DH2015 conference coordinators so that it was hard coded on your badge!

What a cool idea. It is worth seeing if we can do two or three colour first.
The flag issue may or may not happen: it is harder than I thought to
find
sheets or world flag stickers (though this is a good time to buy flag tattoos or artificial nails). For some reason everybody seems over
stocked
on Spanish ones ;-)

That's what I was thinking as well: a single design, in perhaps a
couple
of colours (or maybe not), with a space for languages. Or conversely,
we
could do that and go on Alibaba and see if we couldn't score some
small flag
stickers to replace handwritten languages.
I was given a very small bit of money from the U of L to support projects fostering international, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural collaboration within the humanities (well, I scored a grant that had
that as
part of its expenses). I can definitely fund something like this from
that.
How about: a generic "I can whisper," "I can interpret," "I can share" (trying to think of a phrase that gets the sense of community right)
and
then some flag stickers for the languages? (assuming we can find
them). If
that turns out to be too complicated, then just a generic sticker (or button?) with a line for hand-written languages.
Cheapest is always single colour.
Might be nice to have the "I can share" or whatever written in three
or
four languages from different language families.
