Dear all, I have seen that OpenMath is under-documented in the national Wikipedias; I have slightly updated the english OM page on Wikipedia and completely rewritten the German one after the english template. There are OM pages in the italian and Czech Wikipedias.
I think that an international standard like OpenMath should be documented on the national Wikipedias, and we should have a good and complete coverage there. This may be the current best way of getting attention to our joint cause. So at least the Italian (Olga?) and Czech (???) pages, which are very rudimentary should be extended. For other national wikipedias, it might be a little harder to establish an OM page. But certainly doable. So if you are a native speaker, get a Wikipedia account and start transtlating. It would be very natural to have a page in the Finnish Wikipedia, since the OMSoc is based there (Mika?). If you see any mistakes or omissions on the English or German page, please directly edit it or tell me. Especially the German page would profit from a careful reading. If you have problems or questions, plese send them to the list. We have at least one experienced wikipedian (Christoph Lange) on the list. I for instance had some problems translating the word content dictionary to German. I have the feeling that such a term should be translated to be able to talk about this important topic in German, but I am not sure I am happy with the translation I chose. So there is the aspect of bringing your native language up to the 21 century. Wouldn't an OM Wiki page in your native language be a good new year's resolution? A happy new year to you all wishes, Michael -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Michael Kohlhase, Office: Research 1, Room 62 Professor of Computer Science Campus Ring 12, School of Engineering & Science D-28759 Bremen, Germany Jacobs University Bremen* tel/fax: +49 421 200-3140/-493140 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kwarc.info/kohlhase skype: m.kohlhase * International University Bremen until Feb. 2007 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Om mailing list [email protected] http://openmath.org/mailman/listinfo/om
