Wiktionary: Community Portal
From open-dictionary.com - the free dictionary.
Wiktionary is a multi-lingual dictionary and a lot more, and a wiki community, with a number of sub-projects on the go. This page is a convenient starting point for organizing both. Contributions from newcomers are welcome. If you would like to learn more about the mechanics or social norms of contributing, the below lists should be helpful. If you haven't already, you may want to create an account (why?).
