## Simple steps for your feedback | |||
<a class="anchor" id="simplestep1">1. As eSpeak NG is open source software, you can get it working from many different sources, some of which may provide quite | |||
old version. Before registering new issue, test that issue can be reproduced with latest development version at | |||
[eSpeak NG online](https://odo.lv/Espeak) site. | |||
<a class="anchor" id="simlestep2">2. Review known [eSpeak NG issues](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/issues), particularly about | |||
[languages](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/labels/languages%2Fpronunciation) and add your comments | |||
on existing issues. If necessary add new issue as described [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-an-issue). | |||
<a class="anchor" id="simlestep3">3. Look at and subscribe to [eSpeakNG mailing list](https://groups.io/g/espeak-ng) | |||
to view and discuss other related topics. | |||
## Steps for your contribution | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step1">1. Get familiar with [additive speech synthesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Additive_synthesis). | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step2">2. Create fork of [espeak-ng](https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng) repository as it is described [here](https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo). | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step3">3. [Clone](https://help.github.com/en/articles/cloning-a-repository) and set up your development environment [on your computer](building.md) , or clone it [online](https://odo.lv/EspeakGuide). | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step4">4. Get familiar with [text to phoneme translation](dictionary.md) and how to [add or improve language](add_language.md). | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step5">5. Get familiar with [voice files](voices.md) and [phoneme tables](phontab.md) configuration files. | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step6">6. Make your improvements (i.e. additions or modifications) and check your project with `make check` command. Fix issues if necessary. | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step7">7. If you contribute to an existing language, find language maintainer in language configuration file located in `espeak-ng-data/lang` folder[<sup>1</sup>](#1) and ask him to review your changes. If you can't find language maintainer, you can review list of all contributors[<sup>2</sup>](#2) and contact them. You can also volunteer to become language maintainer just by updating language configuration file. | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step8">8. [Push your changes to GitHub](https://help.github.com/en/articles/pushing-commits-to-a-remote-repository) and create [pull request](https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-pull-request). You can also send changed files by email to [eSpeakNG mailing list](https://groups.io/g/espeak-ng) (but then inlusion of them may take more time). | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step9">9. Wait for feedback of current espeak-ng maintainers[<sup>3</sup>](#3). | |||
<a class="anchor" id="step10">10. If you feel ready to take responsibility, ask existing maintainers to become promoted as a maintainer of the project. | |||
---- | |||
<a class="anchor" id="1"></a>1. You can get list of all language maintainers with following commands in your `espeak-ng` folder: | |||
``` | |||
cd espeak-ng-data;grep -ri -A2 -B2 maintainer * | |||
``` | |||
<a class="anchor" id="2"></a>2. You can get list of all contributors with following commands in your `espeak-ng` folder: | |||
``` | |||
git log --pretty="%an %ae%n%cn %ce" | sort|uniq -c|sort -nr | |||
``` | |||
<a class="anchor" id="3"></a>3. Currently eSpeak NG is maintained only by volunteers in their free time, therefore expected reaction time is one, two weeks. | |||
