Elevator pitch:
Many Wikipedia language editions have large gaps in knowledge. We want to
close these gaps by allowing to create and maintain content in one place
and allow the Wikipedias to use this content if they choose so, instead of
doing that in each of the Wikipedia language editions individually. This
will allow more people to access and create more knowledge in more
languages in the Wikipedias.
In order to do this, we need to represent the content in a way that can be
translated to many different natural languages with high fidelity. We do
this by introducing a new project that allows to create, maintain,
catalogue and evaluate functions as a new form of knowledge the communities
work on. This will allow completely new use cases, and allow more people to
share in more forms of knowledge than today.

What's the elevator pitch for this?
