Abstract Wikipedia
Wikimedia's project to make Wikipedia language-independent, so knowledge can be shared across every human language without AI.

I joined Wikimedia's Abstract Wikipedia program through This Dot. The aim is to build the tooling that will carry Wikipedia for the next thirty years.
The system stores knowledge in an abstract form that can be turned into any language, including ones with few contributors, and it does this without AI. It was a privilege to work at the foundation of something the open web leans on so heavily.
