Hi,
Welcome to the Wikibase Community User Group mailing list. This list is to
support activities related to
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikibase_Community_User_Group . More
importantly, the list also serves as a place to discuss technical issues
related to the Wikibase software by people and organizations who have their
own installs that operate outside the Wikimedia Foundation ecosystem.
The Wikibase Community User Group was founded by Laura Hale and Miguel
Paraz. Laura, that's me, is based in Madrid, Spain while Miguel is based
in Melbourne, Australia. Our primary work is on
https://para-sports.es/ ,
a project about disability rights and disability sports. Miguel has done
some tool development related to bulk uploading, along with maximizing
server resources for what amounts to an enterprise level amount of data. I
do most of the data entry, data organization, data cleanup, and writing
queries bit.
We have a slack channel at
https://parasports.slack.com/ . If anyone wants
an invite, please let me know. We prefer slack to IRC as it is easier to
share files and maintain searchable archives of conversations. There were
a lot of issues we ran into that we discussed in the main channel that may
be of interest to people doing their own installs.
Please feel free to ask questions, share any issues you may have about the
Wikibase software, share what you're doing as others would probably find it
helpful as they deal with similar issues. (I believe our current issue
involves caching of queries using RAM when server space is limited, and
having to manually clear it but that side isn't my strength so probably not
explaining it correctly.)
Sincerely,
Laura Hale
