The STEP project relies on volunteers to make excellent Bible study tools available to the whole world! We need people with many varied skills.

...

We need lots of English-speaking people, writers, editors, etc. in order to develop our dataset further. Some tasks include:

  • Help write the user guide to teach people how to use STEP
  • Updating our Topical/Subject search data from archaic language to remove words such as "oblation
  • Edit sections of the forthcoming Manuscripts & Meanings module (see here)
  • Write and edit articles for the forthcoming encyclopedia (see the example here - but note that a complex example has been chosen deliberately)
  • If you also know some Greek and Hebrew there are many other projects you could get involved with.

Tell us about your skills and interests. There are many other data projects on the go, and you might have ideas we haven't thought of. 

Native language speakers

We want to provide STEP in many different languages. In order to achieve this, we require people who are willing to translate buttons, menus, help messages . The task involves translating roughly 400 short phrases (2-3 words each). We use Crowdin to manage our translations. Join the project by clicking here.We also need Chinese-speaking volunteers to help with our Interlinears.(see here)

We are also creating brief lexicons in various languages, such as Spanish, French, Bulgarian, and any other language you'd like to get working on - ask us to set it up

Programmers
