Hi John,
the Wiki-research-l mailing list (CCed) is usually a better place to
ask such questions than Wikimedia-l.
Without having taken a look at the book you mention, here are two
pointers to research that might be related:

Digital and computational solutions are becoming the prevalent means
for the generation, communication, processing, storage and curation of
mathematical information. Separate communities have developed to
investigate and build computer based systems for computer algebra,
automated deduction, and mathematical publishing as well as novel user
interfaces. While all of these systems excel in their own right, their
integration can lead to synergies offering significant added
value. The Conference on Intelligent Computer Mathematics (CICM)
offers a venue for discussing and developing solutions to the great
challenges posed by the integration of these diverse areas.
CICM has been held annually as a joint meeting since 2008, co-locating
related conferences and workshops to advance work in these
subjects. Previous meetings have been held in Birmingham (UK 2008),
Grand Bend (Canada 2009), Paris (France 2010), Bertinoro (Italy 2011),
Bremen (Germany 2012), Bath (UK 2013), Coimbra (Portugal 2014),
Washington DC (USA 2015) and Bialystok (Poland 2016).
This is a call for papers for CICM 2017, which will be held in
Edinburgh, Scotland, July 17-21, 2017. CICM 2017 also invites work-in-
progress papers.
The principal tracks of the conference will be:
* Track: Calculemus (chair: Matthew England)
All topics in the intersection of computer algebra systems and
automated reasoning systems including:
- Automated theorem proving in computer algebra systems.
- Computer algebra and symbolic computation in theorem proving
systems.
- Theory, design and implementation of interdisciplinary systems for
computer mathematics.
- Case studies and applications that involve a mix of computation
and reasoning.
- Case studies in formalization of mathematical theories that include
non-trivial computations.
- Representation of mathematics in computer algebra systems.
- Input languages, programming languages, types and constraint
languages, and modeling languages for mathematical assistant systems.
* Track: Digital Mathematical Libraries (DML) (chair: Olaf Teschke)
All topics related to the formation of a Global Digital Mathematics
Library (GDML) network, ranging from experiences from existing DMLs,
policies and standards facilitating interoperability, to development
and integration of new techniques for content creation,
preservation, enhancement and retrieval of the corpus, including:
- DML creation and maintenance (content aggregation, validation,
curation, enhancement).
- DML architecture and representations (organization, workflows,
policies, standards).

Dear all,
As some of you may already know I have been working on a tool to
visualize the etymological tree of words using data extracted from
Wiktionary.
This work involved the development of a software to extract
information from Wiktionary textual etymology sections using regular
expressions and a context free grammar.
A first version of the tool can be tested at
http://tools.wmflabs.org/etytree/etymology/resources/html/index.html
I have also set up a sparql endpoint at http://etytree-virtuoso.wmflabs.org/
I only had six months to work on this project and I am now asking for
a renewal. The main aspect I want to improve is the visualization,
which currently uses graphs instead of trees (for the nature of the
current data trees could not be used). Also the data extraction method
needs to be tailored for specific languages that use special
structures and are currently incorrectly extracted.
Please leave your feedback in the endorsement section (end of page) of
the renewal
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive_etym…
as only projects that have enough support from the community will be funded.
Best,
Ester
Is there a tool or framework forgetting article lifecycle stats in an
automated fashion. Is anyone aware of something like that? Things like
creator (+ their basic stats), total # of edits, who's edited the article
(+ their basic stats), article age, article flags, etc.
I'm reasonably platform / language agnostic. I'll only need stats on dozens
of articles an hour, so no need for a weaponised platform.
cheers

...let us be heard from red core to black sky
I'll suggest Wikihistory, e.g.
https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/wikihistory/wh.php?page_title=Tulip_mania
which gives all the editors (ranked by number of edits), article
size(?) and edits (per year, month, or even weeks).
There's a bit more at
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tulip_mania&action=info#mw-pagei…
which includes info on page watchers, recent edits and a wikidata
link.
Page views at https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-…
only goes back a couple of years. Before that is an inconsistent
series (somewhere)
All these are available from the history tab on the article page
The only other thing that I'd want is the ORES scores (AI quality
prediction for any individual version given the permid).
Is this best place to get these at
https://ores.wmflabs.org/v2/scores/enwiki/wp10/?revids=769824240 ?
Is there an easy way to get a regular-interval time series of these?
(I wouldn't expect a complete time series for 1,000s of versions!)
Hope this helps.
Peete

Dear Wikimedia technical community members,
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct
The review of the Code of Conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces has been
completed and now it is time to bootstrap its first committee. The
Technical Collaboration team is looking for five candidates to form the
Committee plus five additional auxiliary members. One of them could be you
or someone you know!
You can propose yourself as a candidate and you can recommend others
*privately* at
techconductcandidates AT wikimedia DOT org
We want to form a very diverse list of candidates reflecting the variety of
people, activities, and spaces in the Wikimedia technical community. We are
also open to other candidates with experience in the field. Diversity in
the Committee is also a way to promote fairness and independence in their
decisions. This means that no matter who you are, where you come from, what
you work on, or for how long, you are a potential good member of this
Committee.
The main requirements to join the Committee are a will to foster an open
and welcoming community and a commitment to making participation in
Wikimedia technical projects a respectful and harassment-free experience
for everyone. The committee will handle reports of unacceptable behavior,
will analyze the cases, and will resolve on them according to the Code of
Conduct. The Committee will also handle proposals to amend the Code of
Conduct for the purpose of increasing its efficiency. The term of this
first Committee will be one year.
Once we have a list of 5 + 5 candidates, we will announce it here for
review. You can learn more about the Committee and its selection process at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Committee and you can ask
questions in the related Talk page (preferred) or here.
You can also track the progress of this bootstrapping process at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_Conduct#Bootstrapping_the_Code_…
PS: We have many technical spaces and reaching to all people potentially
interested is hard! Please help spreading this call.
