Anyone can take part in the compilation of this dictionary. You can suggest a new term, open a meaning discussion, or simply correct a mistake or inaccuracy by opening an issue.
There are two ways to get involved in building a Tamil dictionary:
1.Suggest a new term
2.Suggest a better meaning of an existing term.
Any of these actions is best done using a pull request, but you can just start a task with discussion. Until there is a clear approach to the design of a dictionary entry, formulate new terms based on existing examples.
Attention, do not forget to sync your fork with the main repository before starting editing to avoid conflicts, see the help. If your pull request closes some issue, add a phrase to automatically close the issue when you merge.
The dictionary has a editor(yours truly), so be prepared for the fact that the quality of the text will be monitored, and not all ideas and approaches will find their place.
