Mission

As a cofounder of Lingualibre and one of the Github owner, I maintain our project network, among devs and contributors. I'm also the main developer for several subprojects.

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.

For networking, I will advocate for :

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

As for our techno-strategic context, for example:

• Pamputt to relaunch Lingua Libre Bot.
• Lingua Libre/SignIt back on track. See Lingua Libre/SignIt/2023/Phase 1.

These changes can bring additional axes to our expedition.
