Welcome to the Technical board !

Welcome to Lingua Libre Technical board !

Lingua Libre is a project which aims to collaboratively build upon multilingual audiovisual free licence resources to expand language knowledge and services and help online language communities to develop.

This stands upon a « Lingua Libre Suite », a set of programs which need maintenance, and may be expanded by new pieces of software providing new capabilities.

This forum page serves as a hub to development events and technical discussions.

Discussions about bug reports and feature requests should be diverted to Phabricator and GitHub, and code peer reviews should be submitted on GitHub.

Skills we look for…

• Developers: we especially look for Bot Masters (Python, NodeJS), Sparql expert, VueJS developpers, issues coordinators.
• Projects coordinators: we also look for organizer of recording/hacking meet up. Ask microfi, build a network with language learning, language conservation and NLP actors.

Where to start?

• Local developments are easy. You can customize your css and your js, including creating a local WikiJS script with limited edit rights.
• LinguaLibre Bot (github, Python) is a high-impact project. Help is needed to authorize it on more wikis.
• Join us on Phabricator/lingua_libre and Github/lingua-libre.

Do you need help?

• LinguaLibre:Chat_room – general and linguistic conversations
• LinguaLibre:Technical board – leading development efforts

• LinguaLibre:Newsletter – organize actions of inward and outward communication

Happy Coding!
