You want to support LinguaLibre's mission ? While the core contributors are recording words, those with no will to record can still contributes in various ways. Below are a list of classic roles, activities, events and others which are pushing forward.
Speakers / Recording
Organizing events
- See LinguaLibre:Events, LinguaLibre:Workshops, {{Grants table}}.
Communication
- See LinguaLibre:Events, LinguaLibre:Workshops, {{Grants table}}.
Discussions
- See Special:ActiveUsers, ...
Welcoming new users, opening conversation with actice users to exchange ideas and visions. Accumulating such discussion allows to give the project vision : what is needed for our contributors ? where can we help and smooth things ? etc.
Pages improvements
Lists managers
Bot masters
- See LinguaLibre:Bot, Github, [Phabricator].
Web developers
- See LinguaLibre:Technical board, Github, [Phabricator].
95% of web developments have been done already. Yet, there are always UX (user experience) to improve, create, tests, tiny gadgets and tools to develops, etc. As the community is small we are easily friendly, open to guide new comers, friendly to tests, demos, hacking, etc. Recent arrivals (Poslovitch, Olaf, Seb35) have been welcomed, guided, empowered and quickly contributed in impactful maners. The main ideas is for volunters to come over and have fun so the team keeps rolling. Tell us where you want to improve or create things, we will help as possible to make it happen.
Languages and entries points: LinguaLibre's front technologies at their lightest levels are CSS and HTML, then JS, VueJS, PHP together with MediaWiki APIs and Wikidata Sparql Queries. Our entries points are the following, classed by language, then sorted from easy to harder dive in:
- CSS : User:Me/Common.css (doc); MediaWiki:Common.css(doc•admins only) ; ...
- JS: MediaWiki:Common.js (doc•admins only) ; Gadget namespace ; our JS projects on Github.
- PHP: our PHP projects on Github.
- VueJS: RecordWizard
In a more transversal way, Lili's stack touch :
- MediaWiki APIs.
- Wikidata's Sparql Queries.
Referent users: Yug, Poslovitch, Pamputt are suitable users privately to start light discussions on such matters. You are also welcome on the main room or on LinguaLibre:Technical board to hello us all.
Advocate
- See LinguaLibre:Roles.
Any Lili user can talk within her or his network of wikimedians, friends, institutions about LinguaLibre mission to records the voices and words of all existing languages via its rapid recording system. We mostly need willing and diverse speakers. We also need various other profiles and skills able to take on the various necessary roles on LinguaLibre, from speaker to programmers, organizers and fundraisers.
Networkers / Coordinators
- See LinguaLibre:Ambassy.
Connecting LinguaLibre community with people and institutions relevant to our mission is of high importance. New opportunities raise from connecting actors togethers. There is need for chatty people, who love to go here, there, discuss things and others, and then have the vision to see possible synergy between those actors, giving them a gentle push so sparkles and projects could emerge. A Wikimedian in your town speaks a rare East Indonesian language ? Tell him about LinguaLibre's dream. A friend work at an university in Ethiopia which work on minority language ? Send her/him a Lili's flyer. Some family member speaks French with deep Southern accent ? Ask them if they would be willing to record the 1000 most frequent words with you. A friend is teacher at a Computer Sciences faculty ? Let's see if they are looking for coding challenge and Open Source projects. Etc. Ask people what they do, what they love, find some magic.
Fundraiser / Call for projects
- See {{Grants table}}, LinguaLibre:Events, LinguaLibre:Workshops.
Fundraisers may likely be the rarest roles. Within LinguaLibre, it's mainly connected to event organizers, and consist of users who look for small rapid grants for transports and foood, within the context of LinguaLibre:Workshops.
It also include coordinators or programmers who, given a call for project and a project in mind, will lead the way, read the CFP's documentations, write down a project's proposal, budget, planning, and go on to get that funding. This requires some knowledge of the changing ecosystems of call for projects, which mainly turn around the Wikimedia Foundation (2017: 30k€), a bit around Wikimedia Deutschland and Wikimedia France, while other local Wikimedia chapters may have some funds and calls as well. In France, the French Ministry of Education and its universities have also proven to be recurrent sponsors of LinguaLibre (Strasbourg University 2015: 30k€), a pattern which could likely work in other countries as well, given those countries are promoting local cultures and looking for online presence and impact. Recording national minority and major languages' words in Open Licence has proven to be seductive for such MoE and languages-oriented Universities.
The table below list few such possible grants. Please, help us to monitor coming grants and call for language-related projects of all sources, then contribute to this table accordingly. See meta:Template:Grants.
