| − | Please share here what you think we should get done this year on Lingua Libre. Feel free to add projects of yours that would require funding, as well as bugs and forseeable technical needs. Please remember to link phabricator tickets to the bugs and technical issues you raise. A maximum of 10 suggestions per person would be best. | |

| − | |Program for extracting sentences from any audio stream for their inclusion in Lingua Libre.
| |
| − | |Each extracted audio would correspond to a sentence. Each sentence could be added to lexemes as a [[wikidata:Property:P5831|"usage example"]]. Having [[wikidata:Property:P5831|usage examples]] with [[wikidata:Property:P443|pronunciation audios]] makes Wikidata lexicographical data more useful. With SPARQL, we could then answer questions of the style: [[wikidata:Property:P5831|Usage examples]] with [[wikidata:Property:P443|pronunciation audios]] that were retrieved from interviews where the participant is a native speaker of that language. More information about this idea in [[wikidata:User:Rdrg109/0/13#Program_for_extracting_sentences_from_any_audio_stream_for_their_inclusion_in_Lingua_Libre|this page]].

| |
| − | |There are lots of things in Wikidata lexicographical data that is missing [[wikidata:Property:P443|pronunciation audio]]. As of 2022/03/18 22:24:21 UTC, there is only 1 [[wikidata:Property:P5831|usage example]] that has a pronunciation audio. English has 129942 forms, but only 340 have pronunciation audios (i.e. ~0.0026% of English forms has pronunciation audio), the same situation happens with other languages.

| |
| − | |Improving the search function to make LinguaLibre useful for language learning
| |
| − | |The current user interface makes it impossible to use Lingua Libre for language learning as a competition to Forvo. Without language learners interested in the project, very few persons would be interested in contributing since audios would be stored in a database with no practical usage. LinguaLibre could be a FOSS alternative to Forvo that allows people to listen recordings easily and quickly. It is important to solve this problem in 2022-2023 to attract more contributors and expand the number of recordings. Otherwise, only few "Wikimedians" would collaborate, and the database would never grow.

| |
| − | |Public Relations (PR) Campaign
| |
| − | |LinguaLibre is essentially unknown among language learners. In its current state, the project has no way to attract learners because it lacks an efficient “Search Functionality”. If LinguaLibre could hire a developer to improve the search function, afterwards it would be necessary to promote the website to attract language learners (and new contributors). An efficient way to promote the website is to write posts on blogs,social media, magazines, newspapers, create YouTube videos, etc. A PR Campaign is necessary in 2022-2023 to increase the number of active contributors and become a viable FOSS alternative to Forvo.

| |
| − | |Since we launched the v2 of this website in july 2018, hardly everything has changed with a major exception: QueryViz, the extension used to display SPARQL queries inside wikipages. Now that Lingua Libre has almost 700,000 audio recordings in its database, it would be good to take the time to improve this extension to allow everyone to explore our dataset in an easy to use, responsive and powerful online interface. This will have the side effect of attracting more people to the website, thereby increasing public awareness of the tool and the number of contributors.

At this time we will have to think about migrating to stay up to date and keep our users safe. This will involve small but numerous adjustments in LinguaLibre-specific extensions.
| |
| − | Beyond that, there are still many possible improvements to be made to increase user experience on our MediaWiki: the main search bar, the lack of a Visual Editor, Special pages and wikicode-editing UI ([[Special:Search]], [[Special:Recent changes]],...), etc.
