There’s an excellent profile of Magnus Manske in the Wikimedia blog today.
It’s hard to think of people more important to the movement than Magnus has
been since 2001.
Selected quotes: "...we have gone from slowdown to standstill; the
interface has changed little in the last ten years or so, and a

I'm waiting for the day when Magnus will have a profile on the New Yorker,
but this is nice, for the time being :-)

Hoi,
Magnus developed functionality to replace the "red links". Arguably
replacing wikilinks with Wikidata in the background will improve Wikipedia
(in any language) substantially.
It is just not considered.
Thanks,

Hi,
thanks Andrew for bringing Magnus' words into the mailinglist-discussion. I
would like to balance the direct critic made by Magnus with an attempt to
differentiate the matter at hand a bit.
The obvious attempt to frame "the community" as conservative and not open
to changes is a clever narrat
Hi Yury,
attached the srt-file.
If you use the timecode one to one, please check if it matches every line

different "flow" of reading in different languages.

This proposal can fit well into Wikisource and Wikibooks. I dont think,
another new domain is needed for this purpose.

Hoi,
You accuse Wikidata of something. That is ok. However, it helps when it is
clear what problems you see.
When Wikidata was introduced, it improved quality of interwiki links in a
meaningful way. Most Wikipedians do not care about such links so it was an
easy and obvious improvement. Similar im

Hi!
I think this conversation is diverging from the question of the
*service* we should offer to others to licensing of the content.
Licensing does not say anything about the service one should offer for
the content. Any service, any API, is more or less something one does
extra on top of the lice

Hoi,
When people complain that Wikidata has a real awful user interface, I
wholeheartedly agree. It is really bad, so much so that I only use it to
edit. I am a big fan of Magnus's Reasonator. It turns data into
information. It works well, it works in many languages. I search in
Reasonator, I use R
Hoi,
As much as you like Reasonator, you should acknowledge that the Wikibase
GUI has to be kept as general as possible to be scalable and flexible
enough for everyone to use.

I cannot speak for Magnus, but there’s a distinction that needs to be made:
Writing, “… all have been resisted by vocal groups of editors, not because
they are a problem, but because they represent change” is not maligning all

It simply says that those who resist innovation

As one can be overly conservative, one can also be overly enthusiastic. I

The iPhone was a commercial success because it let you do the basic
functions easily and intuitively, and looked shiny at the same time. We do
not charge a price; our "win" comes by people using our product. If we can
present the product in such a way that more people use it, it is a success
for us
Hi Magnus,
thanks for bringing yourself into the discussion.
I agree on several aspects you point out in the first half of your mail
about improvements, expectations and "prominent subgroups".

Many thanks, Lila - this is a good step in our joint conceptualizing, where
we want to go. I'm glad we've made it this year, in spite of a tight
schedule.

Hi Lila,
A few questions:
1. What is the URL for the 2016 consultation?
2. You wrote, "This is a major step to help us prioritize the work of the
Foundation beginning in July 2016 and running for the next 12 to 24 months
thereafter into a strategic plan." It seems that there will be some overlap
