Hi Di, 

Thanks for your great IBM Cognitive Science series. Since you don't have a speaker lined up for May 5th, may I please give the IBM Cognitive Systems' talk (http://cognitive-science.info/community/weekly-update/) next week entitled "An Universal Translator as a Cognitive System, beginning as a Guidebook with Test"?

Thank you,

Scott

Wonderful, Scott!  Thank you so much.  I will book you on the website.  Please send me a short bio so that I can introduce you.  I won't need your slides until next Wednesday, May 4.  Let me know if your slides have animation or you plan on showing a video.   Thanks so much for stepping up to the plat e for next week!!

RFC: Per-language URLs for multilingual wiki pages
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114662

[14:05] <gwicke> purodha summarizes this question well in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114662#2005122



Wikimedia REST API
https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/?doc


[14:10] <TimStarling> but it's not really about linguistics, like cscott says, we have a very clear user-facing concept of a wiki and there's no sense conflating it with automatic translation

[14:18] <stashbot> T114640: RFC: make Parser::getTargetLanguage aware of multilingual wikis - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114640

[14:57] <gwicke> what we are looking for is basically option 2

[14:57] <DanielK_WMDE> i don't want to derail or stonewall this or related rfcs.

[14:57] <gwicke> a uniform path-based way of selecting language variants

[14:57] <brion> are we otherwise happy with the notion of zh.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/page/lang/zh-hant/html/Foo with the open question of whether zh-hant can be replaced with en/fr/etc in a way that will be consistent?
