I watched the brief explainer on #Wikifunctions. As a frequent Mathworld and Wikipedia searcher for formulas or pseudocode, this is definitely something I could see myself using.

I think #Wikifunctions is a pretty crazy idea (because I don't believe all knowledge can be expressed as a function, not even as a relation). But I thought Danny was crazy when he proposed #Wikidata and I have since seen the light, so here is a short video:

Okay. J'ai passรฉ *beaucoup* trop de temps sur #Wikifunctions aujourd'hui. Donc demain, repos! Je crois. Je vais essayer.
Quite amazing how dismissive these comments at hackernews regarding the launch of Wikifunctions are: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36927695
There seems to be an surprising amount of inherit trust in AI generated information there, without any regard on where the source material should come from.

Je suis beaucoup, BEAUCOUP trop hype par le lancement de #Wikifunctions. Alors que je DOIS dormir.
Foutus ricains qui font des trucs au moment oรน on doit dormir.

Nice profile/interview with Ori about his past #Wikimedia performance work and his time as a Google.org fellow for #Wikifunctions

"I first heard of Abstract Wikipedia in 2020, when the project was just beginning to take shape, and was captivated by its potential to dramatically increase the amount of knowledge that is available to people in their own language."
I've started trying out #Wikifunctions, a project that hasn't launched yet but is available in beta.
Many years ago I signed up to #Wikiversity the day it went out of beta. I was also promoted to administrator the same day because they needed admins and I had experience. I never did much there, but Wikifunctions looks way, way more promising.
