Towards applying CSCW in improving orthography system development process

Orthography system development process is vital to help in the language documentation. Language documentation is useful to preserve the indigenous languages. There are many approaches that had been taken by the linguists to develop the orthography system. Unfortunately, the method that is used by the linguists to develop the orthography system is not feasible. As the linguists need to travel to the specific areas to collect and identify requirements of the languages, the whole process would be cumbersome. Thus, Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) had been chosen to apply in the orthography system development process. The purpose of applying CSCW into the orthography system development process is to use Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) to engage the linguists working together with the indigenous community.
