Dear Larry,

Ethnologue's living languages' number jumped to 7,111 (from 7097) in recent weeks. I wonder where the adding of about ~14 further languages is explained - https://www.ethnologue.com/. Is there a blog entry or a tweet? Mutual intelligibility as simple definition of a way to distinguish between languages appeared in Wikipedia not too long ago, but I haven't found the blog or tweet source for such changes as this.

WUaS minutes will appear here too - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/silver-birch-bark-minutes-for-monthly.html ...

Sincerely, Scott

Dear Larry,

Glad to have been in touch with Kate Chapman (with Lydia Pintscher), a senior Wikimedia Product Manager, and told her about WUaS donating ourselves to Wikidata for co-development (see this email thread) ... she hadn't heard about this ... so good to open this conversation with her. Perhaps WUaS will make some headway soon-ish with Wikidata ...

It seems like Kate Chapman (and Lydia) will respond to us - which is kind of new - but shall I reach out to the TechCom committee Kate shared with us, before possibly reaching out to Jimmy Wales? (It seems like it would be helpful to have a beginning plan of where WUaS would like to head in connecting WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki as "front end" with WikiData / WikiBase" structured knowledge database, as "back end" in Wikipedia's 300 languages, and differentially from Wikipedia, which is already "integrated.'

I think WUaS will plan to save students' data in Google Education re BPPE.

Sincerely, Scott

Hi Patti and Barbara,

Innovation-wise, think I'm going to see what emerges with BachDoodle AI - https://www.google.com/doodles/celebrating-johann-sebastian-bach - re my Scottish small pipes'"Honey in the Bag" CD in 2020. Have you seen Bach Doodle? (Peter Norvig just posted it in FB).

(... and more about Bach Doodle on these Twiiter feeds as well ... and with some World Univ & Sch schools and ideas too).

Cool potential use of A.I. for composing .... and if it can engage MuseScore with its GHB range and planning ... wow ... could open worlds of innovation re upcoming CD. Or back to basics ... musical staff sheet music on paper ... re innovation ? I could be seeking to add some great harmonies (called 'seconds' in GHB piping music) that I'd dub over ... (Bach informed, and A.I. informed ... would be something totally new in bagpiping ... if they are beautiful)

(Further "Honey in the Bag" CD musings - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-sugar-bag-bee-other-bees-releasing.html).

Have you ever checked out Stanford CCRMA music events - https://events.stanford.edu/events/829/82908/ (https://events.stanford.edu/today/).

Musical cheers, Scott
