French developers.

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:

These changes can bring additional axes to our expedition.

Questions

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)
