About the Wiktionary proposal[edit]
Hi Lmatier, thanks a lot for your feedback on the alternative proposal for Wiktionary. I have elaborated a bit about how it would look like from the user perspective when browsing one local Wiktionary and also a clarification highlighting the differences with Omegawiki. Would you mind taking a look again to the new section? And sorry about the confusing terms! You can imagine the defined expression as a blob where you put the word, one of its definitions, and all the connections with other (desambiguated) words, then the system puts those blobs together depending on the needs. The paradigms are automatic inflection generators, it is like the templates that many wiktionaries are using now. And the bonds are search algorithms to put words together, this will be mostly invisible so you don't have to worry much about it. If you have better terms or some suggestion about how to explain it better, please let me know. If you have the chance, I would also recommend to use Wikidata a bit and then everything will become more clear.--Micru (talk) 02:02, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
