[00:30:42] Hello everyone, I had joined this project 1.5 years ago, and was only active for a few months. I now want to get back into it somewhat. I've got a question. In here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2020-04-26/In_focus [00:30:43] @vrandecic says: [00:30:44] [00:30:46] We still need to translate the abstract content to natural language. So we would need to know that the elect constructor mentioned above takes the three parameters in the example, and that we need to make a template such as {elector} elected {electee} to {position} in order to {reason} (something that looks much easier in this example than it is for most other [00:30:46] cases). [00:30:47] I have looked at the "natural language" section of Wikifunctions and there doesn't seem to be something like this yet. So my question is, have we started this yet? (If so, where) and if we haven't started yet, when is the plan to start doing these? [00:30:49] Thank you all [01:22:54] 3B24 [01:23:01] 3324 [01:25:24] Hi! 🙂 [01:27:31] Hey! [01:34:50] @Egezort Hey! I just saw your post above, and currently I think we are focusing on integrations into WMF projects in a similar way to what [[mw:Extension:Scribunto]] does with Lua modules to provide ways for traditonally written wiki-content to easily use functions to perform dynamic tasks. you can see UX mockups made by the WMF of how this will work at[[Wikifu [01:34:50] nctions:Design/Nam [01:34:50] ing conventions recommendations]], and we're coming soon to test2wiki! the abstract stuff is still a long-term goal I think, I just saw your work with Turkish years/grammar and that's so cool and would definitely help with abstract stuff, so thanks! 🙂 [01:36:37] I want to start actually developping content. After I heard about Abstract Wikipedia 2 years ago, I started to feel that translating from one language to another was very small, in comparison to being able to write unambigious code that would theoretically produce the same meaning in every language. I want to start doing that as soon as possible. Perhaps Simple [01:36:37] English Wikipedia [01:36:37] is a good place to start for this? (re @MolecularPilot: @Egezort Hey! I just saw your post above, and currently I think we are focusing on integrations into WMF projects in a similar w...) [01:56:00] @Egezort, I think the best way to help with abstract stuff, if that's what excites/interests you, is to do what you've been doing - write small functions to handle unique/interesting grammar points in your language, like Turkish, they'll come in very useful and save at lot when it's time (hopefully sooner rather than later) to write the functions to render our [01:56:00] abstract schema (wh [01:56:01] atever we decide to make it) in X language, and the be one for Turkish will be really simple to make because you've already laid the groundwork and just need to code it to call your modular grammar functions at the apprised time. [01:58:08] Yes! I've been thinking about it for a long time. I don't know exactly where I'll start again but I'm definitely going to fiddle with it for some time [02:10:11] Well, welcome back, and I hope you enjoy your fiddling! Thanks again for your Turkish contributions. :) [10:34:20] Hello again. No, we haven’t started this yet. I expect the development team’s plans for this quarter will be published in the next week or two, so that would be a good time for the community to reflect on our own priorities. Individuals are free to contribute any sort of function that supports the Wikimedia projects, of course.
