Dear Math(ML) enthusiasts, mathematical expressions are essential building blocks for the representation of mathematical knowledge in Wikimedia Projects and elsewhere. To coordinate the maintenance and development of tools relevant to the global mathematical community the Wikimedia Community Group Math [1] was established in 2019. Ultimately, the group's mission is to decide on pragmatic steps towards the goal of making mathematical knowledge easily accessible to every human being. In 2021, some implementation details of the caching mechanism of the Math rendering pipeline had been updated to the latest software development paradigms employed in Wikimedias codebase. In addition, Wikimedia joined the W3C MathML working to pave the ground for native and accessible Math rendering in browsers without workarounds like images or special text formatting to match mimic math rendering. For 2022, the goal is to further simplify the rendering process of mathematical expressions and to continue the work on the MathML 4 standard [2]. Moreover, we aim to facilitate more active participation in discussing the next steps in Math-related developments for Wikimedia projects. Therefore, we strive to further maximize our geographical and gender diversity. In contrast to 2021, where most improvements remain under the hood of the Math extension codebase [3], in 2022, there are even a few achievements this year. - We have a new Wikimedia hosted mailing list math(a)lists.wikimedia.org (if you were subscribed to the old mailing list, you should have been transferred to the new mailing list) - Math is now bundled within the default distribution of MediaWiki [4] - The rendering of \omicron was fixed If you receive this email but you did not sign up for any of the mailing lists in the recipient list, you might be in the BCC field and want to subscribe to our new mailing list [5];-) All the best André and Moritz [1]: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Math [2]: https://www.w3.org/Math/Documents/Charter2021.html [3]: https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Math/graphs/contributors [4]: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232948 [5]: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/math.lists.wikimedia.org/ -- https://schubotz.org | +49 1578 047 1397 _______________________________________________ Please note: all replies sent to this mailing list will be immediately directed to Wikimedia-l, the public mailing list of the Wikimedia community.
