Dear Lingscapers,
This is just a quick update from the machine room. As you know, we are working on a new version of the Lingscape platform that includes a modernized web platform and a new mobile app based on the Flutter framework. We are preparing to migrate the data to the new server and testing the first beta versions of the mobile app. We will announce the specific timeline for the migration in the newsletter as soon as it is available.
Additionally, we released an update for the Android app this morning. Over the past few months, some Android users have been unable to use the app as usual due to location tracking and internet connection issues. This update should resolve that issue. However, due to capacity constraints, we will not be able to schedule any further fixes or updates until the new app version is released. With Lingscape 2.0, we hope to position the platform for success over the next 10 years so that it can continue to facilitate participatory research on linguistic landscapes around the world!
Thanks for being part of Lingscape!
