I have some ideas for potential hackathon projects for myself:
Finish
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:TabulistBot which is
essentially a persistent delayed query functionality. There is a bunch
of requests for something like that.
===============================
Figure out if and how we could do
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T179879 - different capabilities
(mainly timeouts) for some oauth'ed users.
===============================
Set up data collection for labeling Wikidata prefix searches, so that we
could do ML processing. Basically, we need a way to know which search
result the user selected for that, and right now it's not easy to figure
out from logs.
===============================
Try to make some progress in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T190454 -
making Wikidata prefix search search in both item and article
namespaces. Would probably require diving deep into the guts of the UI,
so not sure if I can do it, but would be fun to try.
===============================
Try to dig into Blazegraph guts and fix some of the annoying bugs like
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168876
===============================
Work on Geo-lookup service described in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T179991
===============================
Port Yuri's implementation of tabular data binding ro WDQS
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T181319 (can go very well with with
TabulistBot task above)
That's what I have thought about so far, now I need to choose what I
actually want to do :)
