Decline of Yiddish

2006-06-10
Yahoo News (from AP) describes efforts by scholars and students to sustain Yiddish as a spoken language. 102-year-old Yiddish scholar Itche Goldberg told the AP, "You can't possibly see a future Jewish life with the disappearance of a 1,000-year-old language and with it a 1,000-year-old culture."

Hosted Wikis

Wikihost Wiki is about as simple as it gets. How stable though? And what would I use it for? Cataloging documentation? (cf. Britta's wiki). Or personal stuff? Presence of advertisements and uncertain long-term viability makes it perhaps more useful as a personal 'sandbox'.
