I'm glad you've found this page for Viossa's open collective! We've been scattered across various proprietary platforms for a while and we're trying to springboard into FOSStown.
About
Viossa is an experimental, community-created, constructed language and an artificially created pidgin, created online in 2014 on Skype. From the beginning, its development has been driven exclusively by conversations between members of its community, where only three mandatory rules are followed:
- Direct translations of Viossa are forbidden except for academic or artistic reasons (therefore one must learn the language via total immersion);
- if one is understood, they are using the language correctly; and
- there are no standards for the grammar, orthography, semantics or phonetics of the language.
The Viossa speech community functions almost exclusively online. It is primarily based on Discord at this time, where it is learned and taught through immersion. Due to interest in finding open source alternatives to Discord, this collective exists to organize the funding of the informational hub https://viossa.net, the existing mediawiki instance https://vikoli.org, a FOSS replacement for Discord, and other open infrastructure projects to support the language.
