1. Fiona - I would be loath to even guess. Until more work has been done any
guess that was uttered publicly would be quoted as if someone actually knew
the number.

2. The number of list subscribers has just reached 100!

3. The list owns about $500 (held by Dept Linguistics, ANU) to put towards
incorporating an association in PNG. The delay in doing anything about it is
due to the fact that whilst I have been up and down to PNG several times
recently, it has always been by charter, Cairns to Porgera and back, and I
have been unable to stop off on Mihalic work. Hopefully, I will be able to
do this in January 2007. If anyone is in a position to move things along
before this, put your hand(s) up.
