The title is editorialized, Mozilla Common Voice has been around since at least 2019, which was the year of the first dataset release, and they've been making releases ever since at https://commonvoice.mozilla.org/en/datasets

There's nothing being launched here that I can tell, it's been around for years and it's continuing to exist

Agree, should have had (2018) in it title (that's the year of the oldest file in the GitHub repo

I suspect it's an accident/unintentional by Mozilla but it's kind of odd how it's written with literally no mention of project start/history (besides ONE mention of some action in 2022, when it was already 4 years old)

I get that this happens with online articles trying to give a sense of being "current" but this is a little strange here.
