Hoi,
What does it take for the WMF to provide continued support for important
tools like Apertium ? If there is one movement that will benefit from
development of Apertium it is ours..
Thanks,
GerardM

Amir,
First of all a big thank you as a speaker of Catalan and fervent advocate
of minoritary languages.
OTOH, I would like to bring awareness to the topic of translation engine.
Apertium is no longer supported as a GsoC project, I guess the project will
keep alive but it worries me that downstream we reap the benefits without
considering that the upstream projects might need support too.
I wish that the conversation thread that was started long ago to support
upstream projects also includes now open sourced translation tools because
as your number show, they seem very relevant.
Best regards,
Micru

Regarding Beta feature status: what would it take to enable this as a
default? You mentioned this in plans for the coming months.
That deletion rate (60 out of 2000 = 3%?) looks actually a lot better
than
"pretty OK". According to historical
stats, it's basically equivalent to
deletion rates for article creators with more than a month of
experience.[1]
It seems like the only risk in taking this out of beta status as moving
to
a default is UI clutter for monolingual users who
can't ever make use of
the feature? Maybe it's unobtrusive enough that you don't need to do
this,
but perhaps you could enable as a default for
only those users who have
substantively edited more than one language edition of Wikipedia? Either
that, or we could consider adding a "languages I edit in" section to
the Internationalisation section of user preferences?
I'm sure you've thought about this before, but I'd love to hear more
about
the rollout plan.
