Howdy, Lingscapers!

We hope this finds you well. With this newsletter, we are announcing some upcoming changes to the Lingscape platform. We are currently preparing the next update for Lingscape that will bring usability improvements for the apps and backend. This includes the public version of the database (for projects that are open to the public). With this comes the possibility to properly reference your data collection. We had to work around some difficulties and delays related to the pandemic, of course, but now everything is on its way.As you can see, we have also changed the format of our newsletter by moving it to Mailchimp. This gives you the possibility to change your mail address easily and even unsubscribe from this very newsletter should you have lost interest in the project.Additionally, have recently started a little campaign to collect #coronasigns on Twitter. If you want to contribute to this collaborative map (or use the data afterwards), just upload some corona-related signs to the app using the hashtag #coronasigns as a comment (originally, we were asked to share #photosofmylife; but then again we are an app, so we thought this might be a useful alternative).
