Participants
User:Yug lobbied for Lingualibre since 2012, manages its Github's organisation since its creation, is the main editor-facilitator of Lingualibre.org and its documentations (Help:SPARQL, {{Helps}}, {{Technicals}}) while maintaining the code of various sub-projects (Dragon Bot, Lingua Libre/SignIt, SPARQL2DATA, Operations, QueryViz, ...). Doing so, he interacted with all developers and and most contributors of Lingualibre. Within the project, Yug is lobbying to move beyond French and Western languages and toward minority languages, via both recording workshops and by providing value-added e-learning systems for language learning and revitalization (see LinguaLibre:Apps).
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:
- Fri.: SPARQL, SPARQL2DATA
- Sat.: Webdev, Toolforge (?)
- Sun: 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.
Questions
- Meet with someone who can increase Wikimedia Commons' ratelimit. See LinguaLibre:User_rights, phab:T172293#6344271 & mw:Wikimedia_Hackathon_2023/Connect.
- (Q1) A Brazilian user asked us to add Cap Verdian creole (d:Q35963) and Mirandese (d:Q13330).
To avoid duplication, can some check this ?
I checked if each were contain is other pages and they are not. See https://lingualibre.org/index.php?search=Q13330&fulltext=1
Is that enough ? - (Q2) User Waldyrious & Alchimista from Cap verde and Portugal are asking to get Commons audio with categorization of the *Speaker*, rather than the uploader. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:LL-Q5146_(por)-Nelson_Ricardo_2500-A_conta,_por_favor.wav&diff=next&oldid=586038740
- (Q3: bot) User Waldyrious & Alchimista also ask, a) Can they edit Lingualibre bot ? b) Can they edit the Commons NikkiBot which update the structured data. cc User:Poslovitch User:Lepticed7
- Q1: I just added Mirandese using the Language Importer tool, but Cape Verdean Creole was already available, here: Cape Verdean Creole (Q53356)
- Q3: see also with @Pamputt who worked a lot on the bot. I would say ; of course they can contribute, as long as they can provide documentation for their edits (e.g. implementing it on a new wiki requires to describe the wiki's structure).
- All the best for this hackathon, see you! — WikiLucas (🖋️) 14:37, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
