How about an app where users download/contribute and search? Contribution from non developer users will be more important than putting it on Github, what I would recommend is, making an app, approving entries and then publishing those entries in Github.

Yeah, I thought about that. Not a bad idea. The tough part is how to convince people to contribute, though.

Maybe a game-like website where users try to add as many words as they know, and then have some kind of verification process before adding them to the list. Make it into some sort of competition might give people the motivation to contribute.

I will think about this. Thanks for the idea :)
