Frequently asked questions

What is Awesome Bangladesh?

Awesome Bangladesh is a hand-verified directory of open-source software, datasets, APIs and research connected to Bangladesh — 330+ entries across 14 sections covering Bangla NLP, government open data, fintech SDKs, maps, security tools and learning resources. Every entry states its licence and Bangladesh connection, and the whole list is CC0-licensed.

Who maintains Awesome Bangladesh?

The list is maintained by Rana Khan (RanaKhan77 on GitHub), with contributions welcome through the repository's CONTRIBUTING.md guide. Issues reporting stale links or wrong licence notes are treated as valuable contributions.

What counts as connected to Bangladesh?

Four tiers qualify: a maintainer based in Bangladesh, a verified member of the Bangladeshi diaspora, a Bangladeshi organisation, or a product explicitly built for Bangladesh. The evidence for each entry's connection is recorded during verification.

Are the datasets and models free to use?

Licences are stated per entry exactly as the publisher declares them. Government portals often leave licences unspecified and are flagged with a warning; several BUET research models carry non-commercial CC BY-NC-SA terms; the largest cleanly licensed corpus (TituLM, 24.3M documents) and Mozilla's 1,277-hour Bengali Common Voice release are CC-BY-4.0 and CC0 respectively.

How are entries verified?

Links are fetched live at verification time, dead links are removed rather than kept for history, Bangladesh connections must have pointable evidence, and items unmaintained for three or more years move to a clearly-labelled legacy file instead of being silently deleted.

Can I contribute or suggest an entry?

Yes — read the scope and eligibility rules first, then open an issue or pull request on GitHub. New entries need a verifiable Bangladesh connection, a working canonical link and licence information.
