Oh how could've forgotten that site; I've been there numerous times!
Everson's been working hard on so many of the more obscure scripts.  HIs
homepage, by the way, is in both Irish Gaelic and English (it is a site
hosted in Ireland).

By the way, I read that the Burushaski language (an isolate spoken by a
small community way up in the Indian-Pakistani Himalayan country) has no
established script.  Is that true, and could this be an opportunity for
me (and anyone else who wants to help) to devise a script for them?  I
just need to know the phonology and common affixes, phonemic sequential
rules, even a basic vocabulary, and whatever else would be the most
helpful in working out a writing system...
