I too would like to see some funding to support our efforts in providing these global resources. I had been thinking small--in terms of seeking funding from literacy-promoting institutions for my WWW VL Literature--but I think Jonathan is correct, we should be thinking big and look for a large grant that we can distribute across the entire WWW VL (perhaps with some sort of matching fund arrangement?) Even a few $K/year to pay for a few hours/week of my time would be a great help. Does anyone on the list have any suggestions for suitable major donors we might approach? NSF? the European Union? the W3 Consortium? Anyone knowledgeable, please speak up! I'd be willing to coordinate some of the effort in putting together a proposal.
