May I suggest Chu Nom* ("Pre-latin" Vietnamese)?
I understand there is a corpus of about nine centuries of literature in this script,
probably much of it worth transliterating, but there are only about 30 people living
who can do the transcribing. (IIrc, only about 30 people can read it!)
*diacritics omitted

Also, a typo: Phoenician (Headline).

I'll try to get some bookmarks together for Qalam, because I have quite a few. I'll try
to be careful of quality and relevance; would be a good idea to re-read the statement
of intent for Qalam. (I do recall that it's relatively inclusive.)
I understand that Opera 7.1* can export bookmarks in HTML format; that could be very
useful. I also need to find out how to submit the likes of bookmarks to Qalam, but
surely could send some to Peter, too!

*I'm currently using a bugfix version of Opera 6.05, which (iirc) uses a text-based
bookmark scheme, but with its own unique structure. I could import 6.05's bookmarks
into 7.1...

One of these months I'll start a Web page. However, I'm very stubborn about my source
code for the page; it *has* to follow standards, and be accessible to all.
