implementation of Wikidata, since we'll put data in the common repo
and then just call them on local projects.
Is this new prog language going to affect this? I mean, will it help
us to write new templates which will call those data more easily?
I believe that some members of the Wikidata team are interested in
allowing Lua modules to fetch data directly from Wikidata. We have
added a couple of hooks to Scribunto to support this, but the library
hasn't been designed or implemented yet, as far as I can tell.
It is in the works and I would love if you find the time to review it once it's up on
Gerrit (which should happen this week).
Lua scripting is indeed a big deal for us at Wikidata — structured data from Wikidata is
available as JSON which can be thrown around and iterated over as Lua tables. This has the
potential to unleash some niftyness in Wikidata-based Infobox templates.
