UCOSP Wiktionary Android Team

Hi, Wiktionary and mobile communities!

This is the undergrad team who's writing a Wiktionary app, based on the
existing Wikipedia Android app.  We're in the early phases right now and
are aiming to have an app ready to use by April.

We're currently listing and assigning features and tracking bugs on this
wiki page:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiktionary_Mobile_App_Feature_List

We're in the process of getting a Bugzilla component, but until then,
please post your feature requests on that page.

If you'd like to have a look or try it out, our repository for the
project is currently at:
https://github.com/pfhayes/WiktionaryMobile
though that may change.

All the best,
UCOSP Team:
    Tony Cheng, University of Toronto
   Shealen Clare, University of British Columbia
   Patrick Hayes, University of Waterloo
    Dale Lemieux, University of Waterloo

Re: About this mailing list, was: Re: Two use cases for Wiktionary RDF

Hi all!

Generally, topics about structuring the wiktionary information are
important to all the people needing free/open dictionary resources.

I have read somewhere there is an initiative to specify a new wiktionary
database containing all languages (allowing easier handling of
translations) and structured data, but I cannot find the reference anymore.
Does anyone have a link?

Hi Sébastien,
you might mean the wiki data project by WikiMedia :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_Wikidata

For Wikipedia Infoboxes the Wikidata tool will be great.
But almost all data in Wiktionary is structured. So I am not sure if 
this can be completely migrated...

I suspect you may be referring to the OmegaWiki project:
http://www.omegawiki.org/

Although this is based on Mediawiki, it has fundamental modifications
for its implementation.

Upcoming deployment of MediaWiki 1.19 to Wikimedia sites.

Greetings,

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki, the
software powering Wikipedia and its sister sites, to its latest
version.

The upgrade will happen in several stages over the month, starting this week.

You can still help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid
disruption and breakage.

More information:
* Announcement on the Wikimedia blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/02/11/mediawiki-1-19-deployment/
* The announcement in other languages:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.19/Deployment_announcement

Thank you for your understanding.
