Crediting

The main contributors to the openlexicon project are Christophe Pallier, Boris New and Jessica Bourgin.

Most databases have associated publications listed in their respective README files. They must be cited in any derivative work! The same goes for some of the scripts (read their documentation for instructions).

Contributing

Everybody is warmly encouraged to contribute by submitting issues or by adding a new app, script, or databases (To add a new dataset, you must create a .json file in datasets-info/_json. Check out How-to-install-a-new-dataset).

First, check out Lexique’s google-group at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/lexiqueorg. You can then contact christophe@pallier.org and boris.new@gmail.com privately, or, much better, fork the openlexicon repository (see How to fork a repo) and issue a pull request (see Creating a pull request from a fork).
