Hi Adam,
Thank you for your email and the exciting ideas you shared for a new
Wikimedia sister project: Wikinotebooks. I find the concept of a
wiki-style, multi-user collaboration platform for notebook-based computing
to be intriguing and potentially transformative for our community.
I appreciate the detailed explanation of how Wikinotebooks could enhance
the generation and utilization of multimedia resources, streamline data
processing and visualization, and facilitate interconnectedness between
various components of the Wikimedia ecosystem. The integration with
Wikidata and the ability to leverage JavaScript or Python for data
manipulation opens up a wide range of possibilities for computational
exploration and knowledge creation.
I am also intrigued by the potential synergies between Wikinotebooks and
the proposed Wikianswers project.
Collaborative notebook environments could provide a valuable platform for
developing and refining answers to complex questions and fostering
discussions among experts and enthusiasts.
Thank you again for your initiative and thoughtfulness. I look forward to
continuing the conversation and working together to advance the Wikimedia
movement.
Best regards,
Aliyu Shaba.
