[08:12:31] <vrandecic>	 Newsletter 82: Presenting our launch plan and discussing the representation of functions https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Updates/2022-08-05
[08:21:33] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> Has anyone else not been receiving these updates through the mass message delivery system? I put my talk page on the list for it but haven't received anything.
[08:23:16] <florent>	  Bongo50: I indeed received the updates through my talk page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Teleosteen
[08:23:33] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> cc @Sannita and @quidditywiki
[08:26:51] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> Florent: looking at your talk page, the most recent message was the 17th of July.
[08:27:27] <florent>	 Indeed, I thought you never received anything
[08:28:33] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> I've not been subscribed for that long. I thought that a weekly update was sent for every new update, like the one today?
[08:31:49] <florent>	 Yeah, there are missing updates since then.
[08:31:50] <florent>	 Until that is fixed, you can catch-up here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia/Updates
[08:36:03] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> Yep. It would just be nice to get the talk page notification.
[08:41:32] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> Another thing: based on https://github.com/google/abstracttext, is Abstract Wikipedia a Google-backed project?
[08:53:45] <wm-bb>	 <Jan_ainali> "backed" in the sense that they are helping out, yes
[08:55:10] <wm-bb>	 <Sannita> my bad, the updates are not automatic, will send a message today (re @Bongo50: Has anyone else not been receiving these updates through the mass message delivery system? I put my talk page on the list for it...)
[08:55:40] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> Ok. Interesting, thanks (re @Jan_ainali: "backed" in the sense that they are helping out, yes)
[08:55:44] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> Ok (re @Sannita: my bad, the updates are not automatic, will send a message today)
[09:11:26] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> abstracttext was my open source prototype of the idea when I was still at Google. It hasn't been further developed since. (re @Bongo50: Another thing: based on https://github.com/google/abstracttext, is Abstract Wikipedia a Google-backed project?)
[09:12:08] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> Ok
[09:13:17] <florent>	 vrandecic: you're not hired by Google to work on this project?
[09:15:22] <wm-bb>	 <Sannita> Denny has been hired by WMF to work on Wikifunctions
[09:15:29] <wm-bb>	 <Sannita> and Abstract Wikipedia
[09:16:17] <florent>	 OK :)
[09:44:27] <wm-bb>	 <Sannita> the message is out, and it has also today's update in it (re @Bongo50: Ok)
[09:44:57] <wm-bb>	 <Sannita> again, sorry for the delay
[09:47:05] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> It's no big deal. It feels like it would be an easy thing to forget
[09:47:37] <wm-bb>	 <Sannita> not just that, I've had some really busy weeks, because we're planning something for outreach, and forgot to put it in my daily todo
[09:48:13] <wm-bb>	 <Bongo50> Yeah it's fine
[11:12:13] <wm-bb>	 <vrandecic> It doesn't help that I'm totally unpredictable about writing and publishing those! My bad, sorry! :D
