April

 * Made baseline lists of all 12 languages in the data donation regarding articles on TED speakers. Please note that TED has formally donated all of the translated titles and short blurbs to the 2000+ TED talks in the dataset, but only 12 languages were harvested explicitly and were included. If anyone wants to grab other language titles for these talks from the TED.com website and add them to the Wikidata items, that is perfectly fine and is allowed. The languages donated were en/de/fr/ja/ko/fa/pt/ru/tr/vi/zh/es
 * Made listeria lists on all Wikipedias that have the listeria bot and prepared offline excel lists for languages that do not allow the bot
 * Began discussions for a writing challenge based on TED speakers (offering a points-for-prizes system for updating Wikidata item labels & descriptions in any language, uploading photos to Commons, writing new Wikipedia articles or improving Wikipedia articles in any language, deciding on a timescale, landing page, tracking options, etc)
 * Made a table on Outreach of all 12 languages with TED data (note: more TED data is available in more languages on the TED website, but it cannot be harvested easily)
