  We present an open-source online dictionary editing system, Ve'rdd, that
offers a chance to re-evaluate and edit grassroots dictionaries that have been
exposed to multiple amateur editors. The idea is to incorporate community
activities into a state-of-the-art finite-state language description of a
seriously endangered minority language, Skolt Sami. Problems involve getting
the community to take part in things above the pencil-and-paper level. At
times, it seems that the native speakers and the dictionary oriented are
lacking technical understanding to utilize the infrastructures which might make
their work more meaningful in the future, i.e. multiple reuse of all of their
input. Therefore, our system integrates with the existing tools and
infrastructures for Uralic language masking the technical complexities behind a
user-friendly UI.
