Revision as of 11:08, 30 July 2007
Here is a list of things HymnWiki could really use:
Requests from HymnWiki
- Public domain, or original icon images for media links (PDF, Midi, LilyPond, etc.), templates, and such.
- Full articles on LDS organizations that sometimes have music: Relief Society, Primary (and its various stages, as there are some songs particular to certain stages), Young Women's, Young Men's, the various priesthood quorums, mutual/MIA, EFY, and so forth. Be sure to add them to the terms category.
- Someone to make a HymnWiki search plugin for the Mycroft Project.
- We need editors to add topics to hymns. Go to a hymn, read the lyrics, figure out what topics it should go under (even if they don't yet exist on HymnWiki), and type [[category:TopicName]] for each topic, where TopicName is replaced by the name of the topic. Then, go to the topic (click on it), and put it in the topics category (if it isn't there already) - i.e. type [[category:Topics]] in the specific topic category page.
- People to host contests, for hymn-writing and such.
- We need people to watch Ebay for hymnals (particularly LDS and lesser-known ones) that aren't listed on HymnWiki; these are nice because you can get names and dates (and even pictures) of them as evidence that they exist.
- Translators (I have lots of foreign hymnals, and would like to get translations of songs I notate from them; I especially would like translators from Swedish and German to English. You don't have to versify them unless you feel like it; versification can come later. Veramet 21:14, 16 July 2007 (MDT); also, translating English songs into other languages would be great, especially if versified.)
Help Promote HymnWiki
We want the following:
- People to tell others about HymnWiki.
- People to publish articles about HymnWiki.
- People to link to HymnWiki from their websites.
- A way to make this site known to the Latter-day Saint community at large (maybe someone could submit an article to the Ensign or something).
- Submission of articles to search engines (especially if they have sheet music and lyrics), and especially if the songs are lesser-known.
- Lists of the most popular hymns of each denomination and country/region.
