Thanks to all for the encouraging response, and we hope that our answers to your questions were useful!

I recently attended the recent LREC conference (”Language Resources and Evaluation Conference”), held in Marrakech, Morocco, May 28-30, and was involved in the following:-

• Organising and chairing the half-day workshop on “Collaboration: interoperability between people in the creation of language resources for less-resourced languages” on May 27th.
• Presenting a poster paper (co-authored with Rhys) on “Acquiring Pronunciation Data for a Placenames Lexicon in a Less-Resourced Language” (i.e. Welsh).
• Giving a short presentation to a post-conference workshop, speaking about the recent activities of the SALTMIL Special Interest Group.

I’ve also written a long review of the “EMU” speech database management software. The review has just been published in the purely-online journal “Language Documentation and Conservation“, and can be read online here. The software is relevant to less-resourced languages of all kinds.
