Hello @kabir-afk , following your email I'm happy to grant you contributor rights.
Few rapid things to know 👍🏼

  • Legacy: This web extension project is 5 years old, quite modest and now a bit messy, but still okish, and I'm around to answer questions.
  • Manifest v2 : Please note this current code is v2, which will become deprecated on Extensions stores
  • Migrate to manifest.json v3.0 #21 : Being a junior developer handling legacy code, I have the way but I'm struggling to migrate to v3.
  • Few codes coming : please wait a week or two to edit this repository, I got some local changes waiting to be pushed to github. A tiny new feature.
  • It may be more time-efficient to study this version and recreate it from scratch using Manifest v3 boilerplate and ChatGPT's help. See Migrate to manifest.json v3.0 #21 section V3 from scratch ? for leads.
  • I actually look for someone to lead the development side so I may focus on coordinating partners to create more signed videos. While the project could receive all sign languages and the UI is translated in 30 langues, we only have video data for French Sign Language. Which is far too little.

You have the gist of it. The rest is coding and project management.

Hey man , I apologize in advance , I know you asked me not to edit the code but I've already updated manifest file from V2 to V3 which was under Issue: 21 , I dont think it would interfere with your workflow/the changes you were about to make locally so I gave it a go , opening a PR rn , you can review the changes and merge them whenever you feel like

No prob @kabir-afk . If you go fast you go fast. The feature I'm working on is tiny, I can slow down on deploiement or even rework it.

@kabir-afk Hello,
My apologize this week is heavily loaded on the work side so i'm brain exhausted. Let me try to answer as best as I can.

Expectations: all fine by me, we are volunteers, not on duty. I wanted to convey that the door is open if you want to. Our general idea is to have fun, help positive changes and get new skills as volunteers devs.¹ As for GSoC, see below.

Communication: I just sent you an email with chat chanels to continue more efficient synchroneous discussion

GSoC doubts: Lingualibre has not joined any previous GSoC edition so far. We are interested by GSoC. But in previous years we hadn't the human time resources or knowledge to actually get involved in it. We have to ask Wikimedia staff or volunteers who already participated the GSoC and mentored developers to learn how to do so.
cc @Poslovitch .

Manifest v2 to v3: ✅ Review and merged. I didn't git pull nor test run the extension tho.

1: Disclaimer : I'm currently Wikimedian in Residence in Toulouse for training University staff to Wikimedia projects. My github developements on Lingualibre have been and are volunteer.

hey thanks man for all the effort , I'll test run the extension as well when I'm done with all the steps that come under migration.
The reason I asked about gsoc ,was because ,under new developers' projects in wikimedia , this project was mentioned as well , along with VideoCutTool and Scribe. See here . So I thought maybe this extension was part of gsoc as well . . . you'll be able to look into it better ig.

Bonjour @kabir-afk ,
Thank you for your arrival path info. You are the 2n person contacting me for GSoC this January which puzzled me. The page you shared lists Wikimedia coding projects welcoming or in need of new volunteer developpers. Some of these WM projects are also participating GSoC, but not all of them. I added Lingualibre to that list in July. Lingualibre havent participated to GSoC so far.
