Thanks, Trey! That's a great set of questions. It'll take me a while to respond to them all (not promising answers, but I felt I had something to say on each of the points you raise). If we're lucky, maybe someone else will say it before I get round to it, but I've made a start, at least.

Best regards, Al.

Hi everyone,

Depending on the eventual implementation details, Abstract Wikipedia may need support from the WMF Search Platform team. So a couple of us from our team had a conversation with Denny about Abstract Wikipedia, and we had some questions and concerns. Denny suggested sharing them in a more public forum, so I've posted them on the talk page on Meta:
