New module for sorting texts in Inuktitut
We developed a FileMaker plug-in for a client's database project. It allows for sorting words according to the Inuktitut syllabarium. Roman alphabet is ordered as "a/b/c/d", whereas the Inuktitut syllabarium is ordered as "ai/i/u/a/pai/pi/pu/pa...".
In order to provide a faithful and useful list of words (lexicon, dictionary, thesaurus...) it is crucial that the traditional sort order of the language be respected.
Technically, we developed this plug-in in C. It runs on both PC and Mac, and provides the same programming interface on both platforms, allowing for portable databases and applications.

Hello:
My name is Jason Gallagher. I am a Masters Candidate in the Media Studies program at the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communication at Syracuse University. I am currently working on a project for a graduate class that concludes with a publishable paper. I have chosen the topic of indigenous use of Internet generated media. I was wondering if I could have access to a group of students that may be interested in taking a brief internet based survey about media use in order to gather data for my project. Would you be able to help me gather a group of students for my survey? If not, do you know of an individual at Arizona who would be able to provide me some help in gathering individuals to take me survey? If there is any additional information about my project that you might need before you make a decision, I would be more than happy to provide you with that upon your request. Thank you so much for your help, and I hope to hear back from you soon.
All the best,
Jason Gallagher

I made a mistake in address the University of Arizona. I do still wish to hear what your opinion about my topic.
All the best,
Jason Gallagher
