Aliyu Shaba,
All,
Thank you. I will get started on a fuller proposal for Meta-Wiki, upcoming. I welcome any ideas for the proposal.
I will continue to brainstorm about overlaps between wiki technologies, computational notebooks, and Web-based client front-end concepts.
Initial ideas include that wiki-notebooks could be categorized and organized (including folksonomically), searched for, and have accompanying talk pages.
In theory, instead of having to create blank notebooks, editors could select task-specific templates and/or make use of input forms to create rough-draft notebook sketches for subsequent completion.
By processing computational notebooks as editors create and revise them: (1) anomalous usage scenarios could be detected, (2) AI assistants could contextually recommend documentation, and (3) AI assistants could contextually recommend options for populating cells with code sketches and code completions.
Best regards,
Adam

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.

Wikimedia,
Inspired by computational-notebook technologies including Project Jupyter<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Jupyter> and Jupyter AI<https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-ai>, I am pleased to share some ideas for a new Wikimedia sister project: Wikinotebooks.
A Wikinotebooks project would enable new, wiki-style, multi-user collaboration scenarios with respect to notebook-based computing in a way tightly integrated with the Wikimedia software ecosystem.
With notebook-based computing, multimedia resources could be generated by people and AI, these resources including: 3D graphics, animations, audio, charts, diagrams, figures, graphs, images, infographics, maps, mathematical expressions, pictures, and video.
Editors would be able to log on to Wikinotebooks, create a new notebook, query data from Wikidata, run some program logic (e.g., JavaScript or Python) on that data to generate a chart, save that chart to Commons, and then add that chart to a Wikipedia article.
As envisioned, computational notebooks would be stored on Wikinotebooks, generated multimedia resources would be stored on Commons, and these notebooks and multimedia resources would remain interconnected. Persisted interconnectivity between data, queries, computational notebooks, and multimedia resources would streamline providing deliverables. For instance, updates to backing data could result in automatic updates to multimedia resources, e.g., charts, and/or in notifications to interested editors that new revisions were available.
A Wikinotebooks project would, additionally, enhance the development of another proposed sister project: Wikianswers<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikianswers>.
In the event of any interest, I could write a fuller proposal for a Wikinotebooks project on Meta-Wiki<https://meta.wikimedia.org>. Thank you.
Best regards,
Adam Sobieski
