This page is a work in progress.
Generalities
- User Interface and teaching principles.
On site workshop
- Example: 2021 INALCO.
Online workshop
- Example: 2021 Wiki Meet India.
Sporsorship
- Example: Cantonese 2020.
A private citizen paying an audio-voice professional to records a list of words in his language is also a de facto option. Wikimedia cannot, by rule, pay for content. But given the high productivity of Lingualibre's studio (Special:RecordWizard), it becomes affordable, efficient and profitable for private citizen or institutions to lead such operation, hire an audio professional who will mass record. A first experiment was made with Cantonese. A modest 300€ lead to the creation of 5,000+ audios files within 3 weeks. These 5,000 words make up around 95% of daily Cantonese conversations. Cantonese can therefore be considered as largely covered, on the teaching side at least. For a more exhaustive coverage, 30,000 would be a better target.
This approach is especially needed and promising for rare languages, where volunteer contributors are and will stay hard to find. Sometimes, sponsoring contribution could boost a language. With such low amounts involved, a private or institutional donor can likely be found.
Funding
- Example: Wikimédia France's Microfi.
