Hi everyone,
*This email was sent from Amrit's account but has not been approved yet.
Apologies in advance for overwhelming the mailing list in case the other
email is also approved.*
I am pleased to inform you that Amrit and I have prepared a toolkit for
transcription of oral culture which enables non-expert to document their
language and culture and digitize them on Wikimedia platforms. We have
built upon the OpenSpeaks toolkit and Elicitation Protocol of Wikitongues
in order to provide a unified toolkit with content on technical knowledge,
oral history elicitation interview questions, wiki workflow and
introduction to language documentation. The volunteers who tested this
toolkit were mostly female, thus forwarding our aim of inclusivity as an
aim of this project. We request you to go through the toolkit on the
following page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Oral_Culture_Transcription_Toolkit
Please share your ideas and recommendations on it on the Discussion page
of the toolkit.
Further, we are planning to utilize this toolkit in the new project that
we have proposed. In this project, we plan to teach youths speaking
endangered languages to document their culture, hold workshops for training
in audio-visual documentation and train them for the wiki workflow. We
would love to hear from you on this plan of ours, your suggestions are very
welcome. Also, if you are interested to participate or volunteer in this
project, do let us know on the talk page or via email. We are sharing the
link to this project below:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Community_Fund/Yo…
We are also inviting volunteers to join this project in any capacity.
Feel free to add your name to the Volunteers section on the project page.
Regards
Nitesh and Amrit
