Welcome to lipu sewi pi toki pona! We’re glad to have you on board. Our project has rapidly become the most successful toki pona Bible translation we know of ― our translation procedures are more rigorous and interactive than others’, and we are rewarded for this rigor with a persistent project and a high rate of progress.
Step 1: join the Discord Server #
Join our Toki Pona Bible Project Discord Server. All the translations happen within the server. If your Discord Account is not older than 3 month, we might check your identity first.
Step 2: pick a role #
After joining the server, please go to Roles & Channels and select the role you want within the project.
- Translator
- Toki Pona Proofreader
- Hebrew Specialist
- Koiné Specialist
- Footnote-Taker (needs approval)
- Lurker
If you’re just here to spectate, that’s absolutely fine, but grab the Lurker role ― users without roles are periodically removed from the server, but don’t worry, you can add or change roles later on if you want. If you have sufficient knowledge of (ideally Biblical) Hebrew and/or (ideally Koiné) Greek that you can assist in translation from original texts, pick up the roles for your language.
Step 3: read the rules #
Now, please read the rules carefully. If you don’t agree to all the rules, leave the server.
