Can we switch to yaml for the entries, and lose the google sheets?

fcbond commented 6 months ago

Hi,

I would like to have all the data in the repository, rather than relying on an external file.

The main issue is if our lexicon editors are ok with editing yaml rather than the sheet?

We could have a separate file for each word, or one per letter (which is what wordnet does) or all in one file (it is not so big).

What do you think?

Sorry for my late response.

I agree with your opinion. Maintaining another source(google sheet) may cause some issues and requires some extra works as well.

The repository will be fully updated by #10 .

The files for entries are seperated by entry in vocabulary directory.

The format for entries are jsonl, but, if you and siewyeng prefer to maintain(edit, store) with any other format, I could switch all of them by a simple code. but i am not 100% sure if it is what you wanna discuss as I didn't get what 'lexicon editors' is in the sentence.

For now we have a separated file for each word(vocabulary directory). I think current option would be nicer than the other options but I would not strongly claim that it is. pros and cons. and it could be updated by simple code updates as well.

@fcbond @changukshin I am okay with directly editing the yaml eventually! but now, when quite some of entries have been completed, the google sheets are much easier to navigate because I can just filter the columns

Thanks @changukshin for preparing this!

I am happy to wait until @siewyeng is ready to switch over. I agree we should not have two different sources, so once we switch, we switch!

When everything is in separate files, then we need to use programs to do mass changes, but I think it will be easier to keep track of, ...

Okay! I should be done with a significant enough portion of the remaining entries by the end of the year :)
