Jens OhligI had a plan to write a Lunar New Year function for <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Wikifunctions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wikifunctions</a>, but I think I will not find the coding time to have it ready by New Year.

Jens OhligI have entered all functions for natural language generation in <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Esperanto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Esperanto</a> in the <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Wikifunctions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wikifunctions</a> project's function catalogue. I wrote some of the functions myself. The nice thing about Esperanto is that in a planned language with no exceptions in the formation of grammatical forms, the set of functions can be complete—all possible grammatical forms of the language can be programmatically generated. <a href="https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Catalogue/Natural_language_operations/Esperanto" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Catalogue/Natural_language_operations/Esperanto</a>

One of the invited speakers, Denny Vrandečić (<a href="https://mas.to/@vrandecic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@vrandecic</a>), showed us the challenges of multilingual knowledge, and a new project from the <a href="https://wikimedia.social/@wikimediafoundation" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@wikimediafoundation</a>, <a href="https://mstdn.degu.cl/tags/Wikifunctions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wikifunctions</a>.

Chuck Darwin<a href="https://c.im/tags/Wikifunctions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wikifunctions</a>, is first new Wikimedia project in over a decade. The project will enable volunteer editors to collaboratively create and maintain a library of <a href="https://c.im/tags/functions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#functions</a> to answer questions and enhance knowledge on Wikimedia projects and beyond. A “function” is a sequence of programming instructions that makes a calculation based on data provided. Internet users most commonly encounter functions when entering queries on search engines, such as the time difference between two cities, the distance between two locations, or the volume of an object. Functions operate behind-the-scenes to produce answers to these queries. For the first time, Wikifunctions will provide a library of functions that everyone, everywhere can access and contribute to.  Notably, these functions can exist in any language; therefore, for many Wikifunctions users, this will be the first project where they can read and write functions in their native language.Wikifunctions will place functions in a single shared space, simplifying the work of the volunteers who maintain them and increasing their accessibility. Wikifunctions will eventually integrate with Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, opening new opportunities for knowledge creation. <a href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2023/12/05/introducing-wikifunctions-first-wikimedia-project-to-launch-in-a-decade-creates-new-forms-of-knowledge/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2023/12/05/introducing-wikifunctions-first-wikimedia-project-to-launch-in-a-decade-creates-new-forms-of-knowledge/</a>
