Ideas for other potential future projects:


 * New Zealand charities id: create a property so that organisations can be linked to the Charities Register, can then be used a) as an identifier, b) for stated in qualifiers
 * New Zealand government agencies editathon: improve the quality of the pages about New Zealand government agencies, at the moment they are generally of a low quality
 * New Zealand government registers: improve Wikidata entries for official registers, such as company, incorporated societies, etc
