Standards are great, now how can I use them?

Widespread use of standards and/or best practices just won't happen unless it is easy for people to:
  1. Locate information re: standards and what they entail.
  2. Learn how to apply the standards to their own data.

The page(s) linked below provide common practices in some specific subfields of Linguistics:

Sociolinguistics
Typology
Language documentation and description

Phonetics (stem(article only)stub)
Syntax (stem(article only)stub)

PLEASE CONTRIBUTE!
This is an opportunity to share your expertise regarding subfield-specific standards or best practices, how these can be applied in your field, and why one should bother doing so. We are seeking contributions to this page and its offspring, in two forms:
1. Expansion of existing seed lists
2. Creation of new seed lists

Contributions are currently being coordinated by Alexis Palmer (apalmer@coli.uni-sb.de). Feel free to contact me if you have questions or need any assistance with the wiki interface.
