We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)

by Wikimedia Movement Strategy

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians: We are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation. There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own: · Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement)[1] · Track B (individual contributors): On Meta[2] or your local language or project wiki[3] This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years? We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement. Sincerely, Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams [1][4] PS.

etytree: a graphical and interactive etymology dictionary based on Wiktionary

by Ester Pantaleo

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 the English Wiktionary. This work involved the development of a software to extract information from Wiktionary textual etymology sections (and other sections as well) using advanced natural language processing techniques. The data used by the software is synchronized with the latest release of the English Wiktionary dump. A first version of the tool can be tested at http://tools.wmflabs.org/etytree/etymology/resources/html/index.html 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 more work is needed to refine the extraction method as still some relationships are incorrectly extracted. For more details on the proposed improvements see the page linked above. This project is a first step towards the creation of a big database of etymological relationships that can be used by linguists and etymology enthusiasts in many ways. As only projects that have enough support from the community will be funded, please leave your feedback in the endorsement section (end of page) of the grant renewal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive_etym… I am looking forward to your feedback on the grant page. Thanks a lot! Best, Ester
