How to contribute #16

Open martino-vic opened 2 years ago

martino-vic commented 2 years ago

I have manually converted the entries of Sampsa Holopainen's 2019 dissertation to a csv and would like to contribute them to uralex. Is that possible and if yes, how would the workflow look like? Many thanks in advance

Dear Viktor, it's great to have a potential contribution! There has been a big review of all the cognate coding ongoing for version 3.0, and the people doing it have already been referring to Holopainen 2019, but this could still be quite useful. I've had a talk with @OutiVesakoski about it, and she suggests sending the data to @kasyrj (Kaj Syrjänen) to check how it could be integrated. At the absolute minimum it would be useful quality control to double check coding from an independent source. What have you taken from Holopainen? The etymologies, or the contact information as well? @MervideHeer has already included the Indo-Iranian loans from Holopainen in version 2.0, but if you've found something else it would be "crazily useful". You'd also be welcome to attend a Bedlan meeting talking about this — I think Mervi has your email already, but if not please send it. God fortsättning, Michael

Thank you for the invitation, it would be an honour to join one of your meetings, since I have a couple of other files too that I think might belong here as well. I will write an e-mail to Mervi and Kaj. This is the file btw: pii_all.csv
