LinguaLibre:Events/2022.06 Lingualibre online meetup/8/en

Minutes

This section is messy and unclear. Clarification welcome.

• 20:06 Wikimania - Lyokoï wants to organize a contribution event around Lingua Libre - challenge style. "How many languages can we record on lingua libre in one day ?"
• Idea : need to prepare lists for people to pronounce. Rodio has been working on a bot to generate lists of words that are missing . Olaf bot does that (grabbing words from wiktionnaries).
• Tech days at Wikimania - last time turned into a presentation more than a hackathon. The issues we have are too complicated for newcomers to work on them. Rule out a hackathon.
  • Note for the future : it would be nice to have a list that is more fluid - a tool that doesn't present the same words to every participant.
• 20:21 Poslovitch: The recording process is intimidating for some users.
  • RecordWizard url link with list loading
• 20:27 Lyokoi: It is not a problem that we have multiple recordings of the same word since the accent, the age or gender of each recording is also important
• 20:31 Rodion: At what point can we say that it's enough for the number of times the same word is recorded? 30 recordings? 100 recordings?
  • 20:34 Rodion: When new users are willing to contribute, a list of words could be suggested and those words would be those that don't have much recordings
• [Gap in vision of what Lingua Libre is , and what it is for]
• 20:37 Poslovitch: Theme/topic generated lists was discussed in June, Hackaton 2021 at Lyon.
• New list types to think about: frequency list, never recorded lists, thematic lists.
• 20:44 acalai There will be an event in Massy, south of France, aimed to tech companies and tech researchers who work in languages resources. It lasts for 3 days.
