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.
  • Events:
    • Yug and Lyokoï - Marseilles
  • 20:50 acalai MediaWiki update in spring 2023
  • pufferments ? performances ? bug solving and hunting
  • meta:User:Adélaïde_Calais_WMFr/2022-2023_Lingualibre_wishlist
  • 21:04 Poslovitch: Need Matomo to find those bugs that are affecting some users but haven't been solved yet due to the lack of a description of the bug. Use the proper property on each recording that is faulty. problem : when you've recorded 1000 words, no one wants to look at each individually and manually put the property on each of them. -> would need a batch editing tool (for power users)
  • -> step 1 : create batch editing tool
  • -> step 2 : have a human patrol campaign to create a corpus of faulty recordings
  • -> step 3 :
  • 21:13 Poslovitch : lingua libre is no longer only a recording tool, it needs to be a sound library as well.
  • The datasets don't work. Lingua Libre bot has not been working for 7~8 weeks
  • ALert : SPARQL is going to deter new developers (because it's hard and slow). Need json files of the datasets.
  • Need : developer environment - how to set up lingua libre on one's computer.
  • Need processes and a yearly hackathon

Outreach for resources

  • A developer for 1 year ?
  • University partnership - 1 lab of researchers to contribute to + use
  • Outreach for money / Fundraising

How to communicate with decision makers:

  • To get fund : prove strategic role !
  • Strategic arguments : diversity, revitalization, orality, reusability (forvo not very reusable), document and preserve dying languages

Francophonie.

  • Ask questions when WMFr board meeting holds public discussion.
