Here are a few links giving different viewpoints:
http://www.publiceye.org/research/Group_Watch/Entries-119.htm (negative,
quite old)
http://136.142.158.105/Lasa2000/Hartch.PDF (outsider viewpoint, fairly
positive)
I was interested to learn that the Tok Pisin name of SIL is Institut
bilong Tok Ples, or the Institute of Local Languages; and to discover
why it's called the _Summer_ Institute (after the original summer
training programs; I had always assumed Summer was a founder or sponsor!).
