Wikidata weekly summary #52
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
 * Development
 * The first year is over. Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping to build Wikidata and making it more than we could possibly have hoped for already. <3
 * Put a lot of work into improved support for Internet Explorer 8
 * Worked on improving recent changes code in client
 * Finished valueview refactoring. Created new extension “ValueView”
 * Implemented string formatter
 * Discussions/Press
 * RFC for defining the bureaucrats role on Wikidata
 * RFC about statements for items related to software
 * Events
 * upcoming: GLAM-Wiki 2013
 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Deployment of phase 2 on English Wikipedia is currently planned for April 8. The remaining Wikipedias are scheduled for April 10. As usual this might change if we run into problems along the way.
 * There is now a page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.
 * There’s now a badge you can add to Wikipedia articles to indicate there is data about it on Wikidata
 * We hit Q10000000
 * A Wikidata item in the wild ;-)
 * Did you know?
 * There are a number of task forces that take care of specific jobs or topics on Wikidata
 * You can get database dumps to play with
 * There are a lot of stats about Wikidata on http://stats.wikimedia.org
 * Open Tasks for You
 * Hit a random item and add a missing source?
 * Hack on one of these

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome. Read the full report &middot; Unsubscribe &middot; Global message delivery 02:32, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #53
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
 * Development
 * Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
 * Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)
 * Worked on using Redis for job queue to improve the lag situation even further
 * Created new Wikibase Query extension for phase 3 functionality
 * Autocomments & Autosummaries for SetClaim module
 * Worked on the GeoCoordinate parser
 * Events/Press
 * right now: GLAM-WIKI 2013
 * Discussions
 * The RFC about bureaucrats was closed
 * RfC about policy for translation admins
 * We need feedback from contributors working on references addition or having tried to add references to statements. Please comment about your problems or your trials at d:Help:Sources
 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
 * Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
 * There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
 * If you're a student and interested in coding on Wikidata consider applying for Google Summer of Code.
 * There is a new user right: property creators
 * There is now a page to request deletion of a property
 * We now have Bureaucrats
 * Reasonator was improved and extended (1 2)
 * Open Tasks for You
 * Hack on one of these
 * Help draft the next weekly summary

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed.

Pending release of Notifications
Hey :). I'm dropping you a note because you have signed up for the Notifications, or Echo, newsletter.

If all goes according to plan, we should be launching Echo on en-wiki either tomorrow, or next Tuesday - I'll drop a followup tomorrow when we know what's happening. Should the launch succeed, we'll begin the process of triaging bugs and gathering feedback on what features work, what cause problems, and what we should do next; I hope you'll help us out on these fronts by leaving any comments you might have on the talkpage.

Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
