[Foundation-l] Logos and Wiktionary

Sat Aug 20 00:17:39 UTC 2005

The Verba Volant mailing list <http://www.verba-volant.net/> sent a
mail to their subscribers today stating the service (which seems to be
sending out multilingual quotations) was "offered thanks to the
cooperation between Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/> and Logos
Group <http://www.logos.it/>."

To avoid any further confusion over this, there have been discussions
between Jimmy Wales, Logos, and other interested parties (namely,
Gerard and Sj), but any discussions have simply resulted, so far, in
some proposed ideas about how Logos might work with Wiktionary, not
Wikipedia as the mail suggested. Gerard has just put together a page
about this proposal at
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Logos.Wiktionary>. For background
information, please see
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Wiktionary>.

Discussion about any aspects of this proposal are still very welcome
on those meta pages, or on the Wiktionary mailing list, and the fact
that discussions regarding the proposed project are taking place with
external parties should not be seen as a reflection of any decision
already having been made. Comments by the existing Wiktionary
community, and anyone else interested, would be very valuable as we
move towards various decisions about the project.
