From the homepage: "The Ega initiative aims to develop a model for the computational language documentation of an endangered language, involving -design and performance of fieldwork & documentation -of the forms & functions of an endangered language, -based on workable, efficient computational linguistic & phonetic methods (see article on the WELD paradigm), and -including the development of appropriate software: fieldwork, description and documentation support tools. The focus is on Ega, an endangered language isolate so far assigned to the Kwa family and surrounded by a language of the Kru family (Dida), in the Ivory Coast, West Africa."
