Event: Wikimedia Hackathon 2023
Place: Athene, Greece.
Dates: 2023/05/19-21 (Fri-Sun)
Webpage: https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Participate
Scholarships:
- Deadline: 2023/01/14 !
- Participants: User:Elfix, User:Yug.
- Mission: see details on event's page.

Participants

User:Yug, as one of the initiator of Lingualibre and a manager of its Github's repository, has interacted with many web devs and contributors of the project since 2012. He also is the main contributor for several subprojects such as Lingua Libre/SignIt, SPARQL2DATA, Help:SPARQL and other documentations. Yug is also active to move beyond Western languages and toward minority languages, via both recording workshops and by providing value-added e-learning systems for language learning and revitalization.

User:Elfix has contributed valuable performance improvements to Help:SPARQL queries and shown interest to push Lingualibre forward. His help will be critical so the the queries are optimizes and resilient despite Lingualibre quantitative growth.

Mission

Coding

For hacking, we will focus on Lingualibre sub-projects :

Lingualibre Languages Gallery : creation of a single page gallery displaying elegantly relevant statistics for covered languages. This gallery will makes gender bias visible, and encourage users to remedy it. It will also allow direct download of datasets. Sub-elements: SPARQL, SPARQL2DATA, Webdev, Toolforge (?), integration and deployment on Lingualibre server.
Lingualibre SignIt : a web extension valorising Wikimedia Sign Language videos to encourage the general public to learn Sign Languages. Sub-elements: update available languages.
Lingualibre's T212671 : modification of the list reading method so the List: namespace may also support bilingual and rich dictionaries such as List:Kik/words-by-frequency.

Networking

For networking, I will advocate for :

Lingualibre needs for developpers (php, web) and voices
Lingualibre SignIt needs for developpers (web) and signers

Context

As for our techno-strategic context, for example:

Pamputt relaunch Lingua Libre Bot.
Lingua Libre/SignIt back on track. See meta:Lingua Libre/SignIt/2023/Phase 1.

These changes can bring additional axes to our expedition.

To do

This month we can:

Ongoing Invite remote hacking developers :
- Ongoing ask Michael for Friday, May 19?
- Ongoing ask Poslovitch for Sunday, May 21st production push (2 hours) ?
- Ongoing ask Pamputt for one day on list of active languages tsv for python script ?
Ongoing 2023.04.28: identify projects and codes to hack : see above. (Elfix, Yug)
Ongoing 2023.04.28: clarify the networking and outreach to be carried out. (Elfix, Yug)
Ongoing 2023.05.03 ?: review the hackathon strategies and pre-steps (Adélaide, Yug, Elfix ; others if participating)
