As @srishakatux said, this task has been completed and the bot is live.

Hi all,

@SrishtiSethi Thanks for your valuable feedback :)

@SrishtiSethi Thank you for your interest in this project. I've added you as a tester. Try out the chatbot at https://www.messenger.com/t/wikipediatestbot. and provide your feedback about it.

Hi everyone,
I have deployed the initial version of this project in Toolforge and Its working fine now. I would like to hear feedback from you.
Since it hasn't been published yet on Facebook, please send me your Facebook profile URL link to my IRC (Balaji030698). I will add you to the testers list so that you can try the chatbot.

@MelodyKramer Have you tried the bot? Any feedback?

@Balaji030698 I would love to test out the bot - do I need to friend you on FB?

I designed it in such a way that, the bot's preferred language will be based on the language set in the mobile and Facebook account language settings. If you need access to the bot, ping me in IRC at Balaji030698

Hi everyone,
I have built the PoC for the Facebook Messenger bot. You can find the demo video here.
Currently, I have built it for English and Tamil. It can be extended to other languages if volunteers contribute to training the NLP models. You can find the source code at my GitHub repository.

Will there be any Wikimedia policy related issue in using Facebook's Wit.ai as NLP API for this project?

Hey @Balaji030698, I spoke with Mel about this question. Thanks for your patience :)
One question, do you plan to use Wikimedia Cloud Services or Wikimedia ToolForge?
On licensing, it looks like the Wit.ai API promotes open apps, and has a few open clients on github, but is not itself an open source-licensed service. Per our guiding principle on freedom and open source, we avoid relying on proprietary services for Wikimedia's core services. This isn't a strict requirement for a volunteer project like yours, though. I recommend looking at some other open source NLP frameworks/services to see if any of them will meet your needs. If Wit is the best tool for the job, in your opinion, then you can use it.
It will be your responsibility to make sure the app follows Wit's and Facebook's terms of service. On a related note, I saw that Facebook recently updated their review process for bots, which requires developers to follow a few rules in their bot policies.
Thank you for working on this project. I cannot provide legal advice, but I'm happy to see if I can help if you have any questions about Wikimedia policies.

A MediaWiki page has a lot of properties, as such your class Page has too many methods. I'm not sure if it's valuable to provide a specific class for content urls or images (with source, width, height) to reduce a little the amount.

According https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/REST_API, the REST API is a Wikimedia-specific but not Wikipedia-specific API.
If you repurpose the library to handle other projects like de.wikipedia etc. perhaps it would be a good idea to support other sites like wiktionary, wikinews, etc. too
In such case, Wikimedia REST Client (wikimedia_rest_client gem name, require 'wikimedia_rest_client' or better wikimedia-rest_client, require wikimedia/rest_client) would be a better name.

Welp. You're using the restbase stuff so the above isn't valid for it, my bad.
But do set a good user agent someplace, as it says in https://www.mediawiki.org/api/rest_v1/

Hi Everyone,
As a part of creating Facebook chatbot for Wikipedia Facebook page, I have created a Ruby gem to get Wikipedia contents like the random article, Today's featured article, the image of the day, and daily news. You can find the source code of my Ruby gem Project in my GitHub repository.

@MelodyKramer Any update from the Policy and Legal team?

@Balaji030698 I will ask our Policy and Legal team today and let you know what they say.

Will there be any Wikimedia policy related issue in using Facebook's Wit.ai as NLP API for this project?

Hello Balaji,
I work on the Wikimedia Foundation's social media team and could see this being a really useful tool that would allow people to pull content rather than having us push it. I am looking forward to seeing feedback from the community — this would be particularly useful if the bot could work in several languages, which would help us reach a more global audience on social media (and could possibly be adapted for chat platforms such as WhatsApp and others...)

@ArielGlenn: Thanks a lot, Ariel. I will look into them and update the doc.

@rosalieper : Hi Rosalie, I came across a security issue in your bot and shared the details regarding it through mail along with the steps to fix it.

The timelike sounds solid, excepted for the publish Twitter Cards tags to Wikimedia Commons part.
The Giphy sample shows the base mechanisms are known, and the known issues are well thought.

@Balaji030698, yes! The NYPL bot itself is written in NodeJS and if you're forking to build on it, then you should do it in NodeJS of course. Rebuilding the whole bot in Ruby is also an[[ URL | name ]] option but the only issue is reinventing the wheel?
Yes, I can help you on Toolforge, can you ping me on IRC or leave your questions here? I'll have a look :) @Dereckson as he said can help you in Ruby!
Thanks for sharing the draft proposal, we'll have a look and for me, I'll leave feedback directly on the proposal document. Thanks :)

@D3r1ck01 I could see that you added NodeJS as a skill requirement for this project. But, we have discussed earlier in this thread that I would like to build this project from scratch using Ruby language. I would like to have your help in ToolForge. @Dereckson is interested in co-mentor for Ruby related tasks.
