Contribute your Voice
In January, Language Guide is going to be visiting the west coast of the US: Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland. If live in any of those cities, or in Austin, Texas, and would like to contribute your voice, please contact Tom Blackmon, the organization's president. The recordings will be released under a creative commons noncommercial reuse license.
Sound Integration
Once a recording has been completed it usually needs to be cleaned up - mistakes need to removed as well as any lip smacking or breathing noises. You can help in this process. Sign up on the volunteer registry specifing "sound integration" as an interest. You can also declare which languages interest you.
The interactive readings are being converted into a new format which allows users to see the word that is being read among other improvements. Converting the readings to the new format requires going through a sound-integration process - first a rough draft is created and then it is fine-tuned so that information on the exact location in the sound track where a word begins is recorded. The following readings need fine-tuning. At this time this task requires that you use the Safari web browser due to its unparalleled support for Html5 audio.

Programming / Development
The wiki for developing interactive readings and the scripts to run them have been released under the GPL3 and are hosted on google code - interactive-readings.
