What I Would Love to Do on Wiktionary

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I am also interested in building a reference that contains the best definition of each word in terms of two others. I would love it if this sort of work had a place on Wiktionary. One goal would be to be able to drop one these into a sentence replacing the word they define there and still pretty much make the same sense and have the same grammatical flow. Another goal would be to feed these as useful input to my AI program.

I completely agree. One of the reasons I want this to be on a wiki is that I recognize that having tried it myself, my results are crawling with errors. I would love the community effort.
