Topic on Newsletter talk:Tech Showcase

I made a proposal for a new Wikiproject:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikilambda

I tried to mark up the two main parts for translation and moved them to the beginning. I have no idea if I used the translation extension right, I haven't used it for half a decade.

Let me know what else you need. I would really appreciate if you could help me to translate the text, and reach the communities to spread the word about the proposal and to gather feedback.

I am sorry if I made the request wrongly - please point me to how to do it right, and I will gladly try to comply.

Thank you!

Thanks for writing. Commenting on the last point only: no need to apologize.! Just take a look at the opening posts on Newsletter_talk:Tech_Showcase (i.e., WMDE's ones) to get a sense of what your announcement should look like - that is what gets sent to people.

Many Wikipedia language editions have large gaps in knowledge. We want to close these gaps by allowing to create and maintain content in one place and allow the Wikipedias to use this content if they choose so. This will allow more people to create, maintain, and read more knowledge in more languages.

In order to do this, we need to represent the content in a way that can be translated to many different natural languages. We do this by introducing a new Wikimedia project, Wikilambda, that allows to create, maintain, catalogue and evaluate functions as a new form of knowledge the communities work on. This will allow completely new use cases, and allow more people to share in more forms of knowledge.

The project proposal page leads to much more detail on the project. We are looking for feedback, supporting voices, questions, statements of opposition on the proposal talk page, and people to help with translating and disseminating the proposal page.

@Denny Could you re-post the text above as a separate topic? That will make more sense to readers than if I link to this conversation, and I think it's better that people can see this is coming from you than if I post it in my name.

@Johan (WMF)Thanks, I did so.
