I'd like to ask your support the project I started: <http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/open-licensed-format-recordings-voices-wikipedia-wikimedia-commons/>
asking the subjects of Wikipedia articles to record a 10-second sample of their speaking voice, for use on those articles. An example script is "Hello, my name is [name]. I was born in [place] and I have been [job or position] since [year]". So far, the participants: <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voice_intro_project> include Sue Black, Cory Doctorow, Bill Thompson and Dave Winer; and we've just had our first recording in French - but we need many more. Do you know anyone who has an article about them? Do you know of tools that would simplify the process of making ogg files, open licensing them, and uploading them to Commons? How can we include more speakers of other languages? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
