Thank you so much for your encouraging words, SJ!
I am still trying to figure out how to proceed, and it depends on how the
proposal is received (so please, take a look and vote!). As I said
previously, I also have talked with people at the Foundation to see what
can be done to turn this from a silly Denny-idea to a proper project, and
all the feedback on the material so far has been super useful. I am not
sure if we should start with the P1.1 - which has a number of legal and
trademark considerations and would benefit from the Foundation already be
committed - but P1.2 is certainly something where we could start.
Regarding the abstracttext code base, I am super happy to see already
people making it easier to dockerize (Thank you Arthur!) and fixing errors
in the spec (Thank you Lucas!), which is awesome. I still feel very wary
about offering a publicly editable instance due to the security issues, but
I am thinking about having a read-only public instance or a
restricted-write public instance.
I am not sure how we could drive it on Wikispore, given that it needs so
much additional software, and it would be rather unwise to add abstracttext
to Wikispore I guess. Did you have something in mind?
Again, thank you!
Denny

Great! The time seems right. Is the idea to begin
with P1.1 and P1.2, on
a test wiki, and have a branch of abstracttext that anyone can submit
functions to, while working on the proposal and setting this up formally as
a sibling projet?
Is there anything Wikispore could do to help get something like this
underway? //S

Hello all,
after talking about it a few times here, the official proposal for
creating
the multilingual Wikipedia proposal is now on
Meta.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikilambda
The idea is to create abstract, language-independent content in Wikidata,
and then translate it into natural language using function. These
functions
will be defined and maintained in a new Wikimedia
project, which I
preliminary called Wikilambda.
Wikilambda will be a new Wikimedia project that allows to create,
maintain,
catalog, and evaluate functions about all kind of
things. You can find a
lot of further details in the link above. If you have any questions, I am
happy to answer them.
The official project proposal process basically says, make the proposal
here, and then go and tell everyone, and at some point, the Board might
look at this and say, yes good idea.
So I would love to collect many of your voices and support signatures, so
that I can go to the Board and tell them look at this :) So please sign
here:

Thank you,
Denny
