That would be me. Hi, all! I’d assume that the mentoring and becoming a
developer process for me will not be much different than anyone else.

At current I’m only familiar with a few phonetics software, that could
be added. Also, many of the phonetics libraries are already in tree, in
app-accessibility (e.g. festival and all related stuff).

From other linguistics software I've been thinking e.g. natural
language grammar system Malaga
<http://home.arcor.de/bjoern-beutel/malaga/>, and perhaps related
grammar dictionaries. If the grammar dictionaries are added as separate
packages, they will at least increase the number of packages in
nicely :-)
