The TypeCraft Advisory Board are linguists who have agreed to give TypeCraft annotators help concerning their annotations and the on-line representation of their data. Every language family or group of languages represented in TC has its own Advisor; at present we have six advisors; we are still looking for an advisor for the Sami languages. In addition a technical and an administrative advisor will join the team of experts.

Lars Hellan
With some background in philology and philosophy, he was brought up as an early-generation generative grammarian, with Norwegian as main field. Being theoretically first oriented towards Government-Binding theory and Montague Grammar, he later - late 90ies - moved more towards constraint-based frameworks such as HPSG, and got interested in computational grammar implementation. Since early 90ies he has also been interested in typologically oriented research.

Marc van Oostendorp
Marc van Oostendorp is not only a phonologist who works for the Meertens Institute in Amsterdam and a professor at the University of Leiden, but also a 'internet pioneer'. He has built for example the project Laurens Janszoon Coster, a comprehensive on-line collection of Dutch literary masterpieces, and is currently working on Meldpunt Taal, a website where laymen can share their observations on language variation and change with researchers. He has also studied Esperanto.
In phonology, Marc works mostly on phonological microvariation, that is, the study of those phonological features that determine the differences between dialects or social classes. Furthermore, he is the editor-in-chief of the Companion to Phonology, to appear in 2011 with Blackwell.
