Re: [Wikidata-l] My WMF IEG proposal: "data browser" for Wikidata, etc.
Unfortunately my SOLRSearch proposal was deemed ineligible [5] the reason given that "extensions require code review from WMF to deploy" so I hope yours is more successful. -john On 14.02.2013 07:14, Yaron Koren wrote: > Hi everyone, > > If you hadn't heard, the Wikimedia Foundation has started the first round of what is planned to be be a twice-annual program to fund individuals and small groups to work on projects that further the WMF's goals - "individual engagement grants": > > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG [2] > > I have a proposal currently in place for a project that relates to Wikidata. It's a Javascript "data browser", that would provide a drill-down interface to let users navigate through the data of Wikipedia, Wikidata, and any standard MediaWiki-based wiki, without overloading the server with queries.

The wiki version is at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Status_updates/2013_02_15
= Development =
* Deployment to English Wikipedia:

* Fixed wrong revision of statements being shown in diff and old revision view
* Diff visualization for claims (simple version for main snak)

covered by while editing (can be disabled by each user)
* Started with valueview refactoring
* Started with user interface handling of deleted properties
* Started with refactoring of local partial entity lookup
* Started with refactoring of toolbar usage in jQuery.wikibase view widgets
* Finished improvement on jQuery.wikibase.claimview’s edit mode handling

* http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal
= Events =
see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Events
* Upcoming: Wikipedia Day NYC
* Upcoming: office hour in English tomorrow
* Note: changed day of next German office hour to March 8
= Other Noteworthy Stuff =
* We have a time scheduled when Wikidata will be read-only for a
database migration. The window for that is Feb 20 19:00 to Feb 21 2:00
UTC.
* New features and bugfixes on Wikidata are planned to be deployed on
Monday (Feb 18). This should among other things include:
** Showing useful diffs for edits of claims (they’re currently empty)
** Automatic comments for editing of claims (there are currently none)
** Ability to add items to claims by their ID
** Better handling of deleted properties
** More results in the entity selector (that’s the thing that lets you
select properties, items and so on) so you can add everything and not
just the first few matches that are shown
* We’re still working on the issue that sometimes editing of certain
parts of items or properties isn’t possible. If you’re running into it
try to reload the page and/or change the URL to the www. version or
the non-www. version respectively.
* Deployment on all other Wikipedias is currently planned for March 6
(a note to the Village Pumps of all affected projects will follow
soon)
* Check out a well-done item: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q159
= Open Tasks for You =
* Help expand http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikidata
* Help expand and translate
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Deployment_Questions
* Hack on one

[Wikidata-l] My WMF IEG proposal: "data browser" for Wikidata, etc.
Hi everyone, If you hadn't heard, the Wikimedia Foundation has started the first round of what is planned to be be a twice-annual program to fund individuals and small groups to work on projects that further the WMF's goals - "individual engagement grants": http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG I have a proposal currently in place for a project that relates to Wikidata. It's a Javascript "data browser", that would provide a drill-down interface to let users navigate through the data of Wikipedia, Wikidata, and any standard MediaWiki-based wiki, without overloading the server with queries. This would be accomplished by using browser-based data storage, which would also enable fast navigation on mobile devices, and even offline use. The downside is that it would mean, for the case of Wikipedia/Wikidata, that it could only store a small fraction of the overall data; but there could be multiple "apps" for different subject matters - one for cars, one for buildings, one for politicians, and so on. You can read my proposal here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/MediaWiki_data_browser Any feedback is welcome, here or on the proposal talk page; and there's a section at the bottom for endorsements, if you would like to see this project happen.
