Discussion about proposal for multilingual Wiktionary
by Milos Rancic 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

I am cleaning Requests for new languages [1] at Meta. Some of the requests are clearly out of the Language committee scope, and they need wider discussion for concluding them. One of such requests is for multilingual Wiktionary [2]. Please, discuss here (at foundation-l; I am sending this message to wiktionary-l to poke those who are not at foundation-l) or on wiki at the page [2].

New Wiktionary logo vote
by Casey Brown 06 Feb '10

06 Feb '10

It looks like no one ever sent a message to these mailing lists about the new Wiktionary logo vote! There's currently a banner running on all Wiktionaries: "Your preferences for the new Wiktionary logo are needed now! Second round of voting: 2010-01-01 — 2010-01-31" You can read more about the process and vote on the new Wiktionary logo on Meta-Wiki.[1] If you need to translate the message into your local language, you can also do that on Meta-Wiki.[2] [1] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary/logo/refresh/voting [2] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Wiktionary_logo_vote -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023

Logo vote: neutral to all languages?
by Aphaia 28 Jan '10

28 Jan '10

Hi, I would like to remind you one thing and to solve some people's misunderstandings about one logo candidate which the community is now voting on. A book type one is commented by several people as "neutral to all languages". But it isn't definitely. All serious Japanese dictionaries in print (not on the WWW) are written vertically, from top to bottom. The book logo is on the other hand written horizontally. So the current candidate is not neutral for all language. For the sake of COI, I would notice you that I voted for the other just because of that. I say the above rather as a reminder - not every language is orthographically written horizontally. Cheers, -- KIZU Naoko http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Britty (in Japanese) Quote of the Day (English): http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/WQ:QOTD -- KIZU Naoko http://d.hatena.ne.jp/Britty (in Japanese) Quote of the Day (English): http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/WQ:QOTD

Words in scowl, not in wiktionary
by Kelly Jones 14 Nov '09

14 Nov '09

I found 276K+ English words in the scowl word list that aren't in wiktionary: http://dl.kellyterryjones.com/words-in-scowl-not-wiktionary.txt What's the best way to request these be added? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile.

Extracting word list and brief definitions from Wiktionary
by Kelly Jones 17 Oct '09

17 Oct '09

I want a list of all English words + a brief definition of each [1]. I tried downloading enwiktionary-latest-pages-articles.xml.bz2, but this is way too much: it includes foreign words, word roots/origins, and a lot more that I don't need. How can I extract just a word list w/ definitions from wiktionary? I know about mthes and scowl, but wiktionary supercedes these, yes? [1] I realize this isn't well-defined: I'll settle for an approximation -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile.

Where : #wikimedia When : Friday September 11, 1800-1900 UTC (11:00-12:00 PST / 14:00-15:00EST / 20:00-21:00CEST) Other Board members will hopefully be there as well; we picked a time when we knew all of the new members could attend.

If you'd like to see something on the agenda, whether or not you can attend in person, please add it here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_meetings#September_open_meeti… Since we only have an hour, we will try to keep to the agenda. New topics brought up after noon UTC the day of the meeting will be addressed on-wiki if we run out of time. I'm looking for someone to help moderate the chat. If interested, please reply offlist. Thanks! SJ
