Help improve EpochLex
You do not have to be a developer to contribute. EpochLex can improve through better terms, sources, corrections, pronunciation, testing, design, code, and documentation.

Suggest a term
If you keep seeing an AI-related word, phrase, acronym, or bit of slang that is not in EpochLex, it may belong here. The most helpful suggestions include the term, where you encountered it, what it appears to mean, and one or more examples or sources showing that people actually use it.
Corrections
Correct or strengthen an entry
A published entry can still improve. Useful feedback includes clearer definitions, missing aliases, better example sentences, stronger sources, incorrect dates, questionable origin claims, category or status concerns, and places where the wording has not kept up with actual usage.
Pronunciation
Help us say it correctly
If the written pronunciation is wrong, unclear, or a browser's speaker control says a term incorrectly, report it. Acronyms, new slang, names, and newly coined terms are especially likely to need explicit pronunciation handling.
Quality assurance
Test the site
Accessibility and real-device feedback are contributions too. Reports about keyboard navigation, screen readers, contrast, mobile layouts, dark mode, broken links, search behavior, or browser-specific problems can improve the dictionary for everyone.
Repository work
Contribute code, design, research, or documentation
Developers, researchers, writers, designers, accessibility testers, editors, and documentation contributors can work directly with the project on GitHub. The repository contains the full contribution workflow, editorial standards, architecture, provenance rules, design guidance, project history, roadmap, and AI-transparency documentation.
Publication
Human review remains part of the process
Suggestions, Discussions, issues, pull requests, and candidate-inventory listings are inputs to the Living Dictionary, not automatic publication. EpochLex remains human reviewed so that definitions, provenance, sources, design changes, and software behavior can be evaluated before they become part of the public reference.
