The entire Lacuna Fund team 🥳
Let’s take some time to introduce ourselves to one another. We can mention the following about ourselves:
The Igbo API is a free software that enables researchers, developers, academics, and others to be able to search for Igbo words in either Igbo or English to receive that word’s metadata like definitions, part of speech, audio pronunciations and more.
This project is funded by the Lacuna Fund, which allows us to exponentially grow the number of words that we have available within our dataset to more than 20,000 words and example sentences.
The main goal to add more words and example sentences to this free dataset so people are able to take advantage of building tools and resources that make it easier to learn Igbo online.
For this meeting, we’ll briefly walk through the Igbo API Editor Platform which is going to be the central location where work is going to be completed for the Lexicographers, Reviewers, and Software Engineers.
We’re not going to go much in detail for this platform in this meeting, but in separate onboarding meeting sessions, we’ll dive deeper into it.
