Ultimate wiktionary - ultimate.wiktionary.org ??
Hoi, I just reailised that with ultimate wiktionary, there will be a need to have an URL where the Ultimate Wiktionary will be located. I do not think it is acceptable to host the Ultimate Wiktionary as wiktionary.org as this is the current portal page. Therefore I think something like *ultimate.wiktionary.org* would be as good a choise as any. When a Wiktionary decides to merge into the Ultimate wiktionary, this domain will be a redirect to the Ultimate Wiktionary. Technically there will be a need to redirect references in Wikipedia when a Wiktionary is migrated. Linking from the Ultimate Wiktionary to Wikipedia or any other project should remain the same. It should be obvious that the Ultimate Wiktionary can use all resources of all Wiktionaries. It is as obvious that any Wiktionary can use the resources of the Ultimate Wiktionary. Thanks, GerardM

Erik Zachte ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- == 1 == For database size I checked sk: The dump is full of spam!, which has been reverted since, see for example http://sk.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=Wiki&oldid=1725 == 2 == For article counts I checked Serbian dump. There has clearly been a massive cleanup (either delete or move) since last dump.(Continue reading)

Conference report from South Africa
This is a brief report from the FLOSS Conference in South Africa that Erik and I attended this week. A more detailed version is on Meta at <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Conference_reports/FLOSS%2C_South_Africa_2005>; so please read that one instead if you have time. I was invited to give a presentation about the Wikimedia projects at the international "Free/Libre and Open Source Software" (FLOSS) and Free Knowledge workshop in Pretoria, South Africa. Erik was given the opportunity to hold a workshop there about wiki technology. The byline for the conference was "Knowledge for all, Education for all", so the Wikimedia projects fitted in perfectly. The first day was made up of formal presentations. A list of these is on Meta. My talk was part of a "Digital Commons" panel. Much of the second day was divided into two workshops, including Erik's. The theme of Free Knowledge Communities was discussed on day 3, and there were many areas in which Wikimedia projects could collaborate with existing initiatives, and new ideas for using Wikimedia content: * Spoken Wikipedia by cell phone. Many areas of Africa have high cell phone coverage with access to SMS. Teemu Leinonen of the University of Art and Design Helsinki is working on a project to allow a user to send an SMS with the article title to a phone number. A few seconds later, they get a call on their cell phone with a (usually machine-generated) spoken version of the article they requested. * Wikipedia in schools. Static HTML dumps on DVD, offline applications that allow editing, and update feeds like rsync to maintain offline copies, were all requested by people working on getting Wikipedia into schools. Where people were interested in print projects, they wanted to focus on printing out particular topics,(Continue reading)

Papiamento pap-an and pap-ar
Hoi,
I learned that there are two ways of writing Papiamento. The Aruban
way and the Antilian way. In order to distinguish these two versions,
I have added pap-ar and pap-an as the two ways in which you can write
Papiamento..
The content we received from FrankC is Antilliaans.
Thanks,
GerardM

[Fwd: Wiktionary presentation]
Hoi,
I did send this message using the wrong mail-ID so I do it again using a
forward. This is my request to speak at Wikimania.
Thanks,
GerardM
-------- Original Message --------
Subject: Wiktionary presentation
Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2005 14:28:34 +0200
From: Gerard Meijssen <gerardm@...>
To: cfp@...
CC: wiktionary-l@...
Hoi,
Several times I have tried to make sure that we would have a wiktionary
presentation. I was told that this could not be as I already am slotted
to speak. That workshop I would gladly do away with in order to be able
to speak about Wiktionary. Wiktionary will become very relevan for many
people and as I say in my presentation this will be increasingly true.
The one thing that Ultimate Wiktionary does is synthesising one
lexicilogical resource potentially containing all words of all languages.
I believe that with the intial deployment of the Ultimate Wiktionary, we
will continue on a learning curve that will result in something
extraordinary.
Thanks,
GerardM
