[00:23:23] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> This week's newsletter: why allow for multiple implementations of a function
[00:23:24] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Updates/2021-06-17
[02:47:35] <wm-bb>	 <mahir256> Possibly relevant, given that Hausa and Igbo are focus languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyU4TsJWLEQ
[03:00:44] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> Masakhane is doing amazing work! Thank you for the link
[14:49:19] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> Do you know any of these people directly?
[14:49:48] <wm-bb>	 <amire80> Or rather, does anyone in this group know any of these people directly? :)
[14:58:25] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> Leila sent me an intro which I still have to respond to
[15:52:40] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> Not sure what this will eventually look like for a function within SimpleEnglish but ...
[15:52:40] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> "...in a way that's under the government's or state-owned power grid's radar."
[15:52:42] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> if in English or another language where the subject "radar" is what is focused yet very far from the agreeing verb "under"
[15:52:43] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> would become instead...
[15:52:45] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> "...in a way that's under the radar of the government or state-owned power grid"
[15:52:46] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> where it is much closer and improves readability and comprehension.
[15:52:48] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> These are just some of the many rules that I'm thinking of eventually contributing.
[15:52:49] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> I'm curious where I could find some rules even remotely close to something like this already out there?
[18:06:31] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> Grammatical Framework
[18:28:37] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/9f49914b/file_5011_tgs.webp
[18:49:00] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> Looks like
[18:49:01] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> * permutation: changing the order of constituents
[18:49:03] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> * copula
[18:49:04] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> * determiners
[18:49:06] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> are going to be my friends in GF
[19:13:01] <wm-bb>	 <mahir256> That's not to say that we will definitely be using Grammatical Framework from the get-go, right? (re @vrandecic: Grammatical Framework)
[20:06:57] <wm-bb>	 <thadguidry> No, I'd imagine not...this is for something external (non-WMF hosted) since it might be compute heavy.  Denny understands however where I'm going with this.
