Hi Mathieu, let me retry to reply with a generic answer that might be
useful to other people thinking about proposing topics for the Summit.

Hi Quim and everyone on the list,
One of my spare time project is to "translate" programming languages to
Esperanto. I already achieved a Javascript translation within the
Babylscript project <http://www.babylscript.com/>. Currently I'm working
on a translation of Lua <https://github.com/psychoslave/lupa>. I chose
Lua because I wish I was able to code in (somewhat) plain Esperanto when
writing Scribunto modules on Esperanto Wikimedia projects.
So, I would be happy to know opinions of other developers about such a
project, and even more important, what steps would you see as necessary
to make it possible. Would that be a project interesting for a Wikimedia
Developer Summit?
Let's start with the definition of the Wikimedia developer Summit:
"The annual meeting to push the evolution of MediaWiki and other
technologies supporting the Wikimedia movement."
Is your topic within scope? Then let's continue with the main topics
proposed for this edition:
* A plan for the Community Wishlist 2016 top results
* Handling wiki content beyond plaintext
* A unified vision for editorial collaboration
* Building a sustainable user experience together
* Building on Wikimedia services: APIs and Developer Resources
* How to manage our technical debt
* Artificial Intelligence to build and navigate content
* How to grow our technical community
Does your proposal fit in any of these main topics? If so, you are
especially encourage to submit a proposal for an activity. If not, you
still can propose an Unconference session. The interest raised by your
proposal (in the form of active participation and subscribers) will help
you and us organizers figure out the best time and place for this activity.
