   @meena @TranslateScience Wow. I've been thinking of SIL like I've thought of some corporate open source, ok, they have their purposes, they translate and print some bibles, but the public gained cool multilingual fonts and a good font license from it too, so it's a win-win.
   
   But that "Criticisms" section forces me to reconsider that view. "In the SIL view, ethnocide is not a valid concept" is an astonishing statement.
   
   Of course, calling it "Summer Institute of Linguistics" when it's an aggressive missionary project is underhanded to begin with.

     This looks cool. Wikitongues is documenting and trying to revitalize endangered languages.
