This post is used to discuss about what features we want in Langscaper and how it will be presented. This may impact the architecture #10
The wiki page could be something like that :
UI
interfaces
how will be organized the views ? image of mock-up idea, etc...
is that possible to move and dock the views ?
theme system
what is planned for managing themes ?
File system
save/load language (with which extension ? ex : .ls, .lang, .conlang ?)
import/export language (to which format ?)
import/export phonological system ( = human anatomy possible sounds, alien anatomy, etc..)
Phonology
What features here ?
How will be the views ? What can we made ?
Is there a different view for Inventory, Phonotactic , Pronunciation, etc... or just a long scrolling page ?
Grammar
What feature in this section ? I think about :
Syntax tree
Typology ( like VOS order, define if possession are alienable, etc... )
Part Of Speech and Lexical Classes
Inflection system (rules, congugation/declension tables, etc...)
Documentation (user's grammar articles and docs)
Lexicon
Ideas :
Dictionnary
Phrasebooks
Translations (collection of user's text)
Writing System
Ideas :
Graphem font system
Alphabetical order
Wiki
Ideas :
A home page with :
ID card of the language (name, speaker's species, place where it's spoke, status)
Starting with phonology, i believe we could begin with:
Consonant and vowel selection
Phonotactics
Stress rules
Intonation (This one could be just a text box, as conlangs are not often spoken by anyone, but is good to have a place to put intonation if needed)
Allophony
I dont think we should introduce tone features yet, i think its very hard, at least for me, to think and explain how to translate the feature into a tool.
