Took the freedom of editing your post a bit for tracking :)

Let's collect people/communities in the post & maybe also draft our tweets there? Does one of you want to do a "main" tweet & a "main" linkedin post @KennethEnevoldsen @imenelydiaker @MartinBernstorff that others QT/RT? (I would just QT so put myself there)

[imenelydiaker]

I can do the main LinkedIn post (suggested post ⬆️ ) & RT

How about:

@KennethEnevoldsen you can post this, it's a great post! I think you can even post it on HuggingFace Posts (there is a waitlist though 🤔).

As @tomaarsen said ⬇️, having different posts on the same subject is better. So, I'll post something similar but not the exact same post, and we will all repost your post. Wdyt?

[tomaarsen]

If you want, feel free to enter the waitlist and forward me your HF username. I can try and get you access directly - I think this would be excellent for HF Posts.

I also agree that it's a great post. I'll repost it & post a similar post myself in a day or 2 (to avoid having 2 similar posts on one profile in the same day, presumably the algorithm won't like that)

[KennethEnevoldsen]

Wonderful @MartinBernstorff and I will finish up two PRs on structure, but then next week we will do the kick-off

@tomaarsen would this be something you would be interested in promoting as well?

You might already be aware but MMTEB is a community project for the multilingual extension of MTEB.

[tomaarsen]

Certainly, I'd be glad to help promote this. Also, in my experience, multiple posts on LinkedIn on the same topic goes further than one main post with a few reposts.

[KennethEnevoldsen]

We are live!

I created a post here. Feel free to reshare and like etc.

Also please to add your posts here to make here then we will share them around

[Muennighoff]

I think we still need to add other people that have contributed in the past here: https://github.com/embeddings-benchmark/mteb/blob/main/docs/mmteb/points.md (as mentioned here #302 (comment) cc @imenelydiaker)
I'm a bit hesitant to quote tweet/repost it while that's still WIP, as I wouldn't want them to feel excluded 🤗

[imenelydiaker]

I'm on this. I'll try to do it quickly!

[KennethEnevoldsen]

Oh have just done it

[KennethEnevoldsen]

here #344, but @imenelydiaker if you have any corrections feel free to update it.

[Muennighoff]

Amazing! QT'd your post here: https://twitter.com/Muennighoff/status/1778433270843121759
