Hey everyone,
I have the feeling it would be good to make an official introduction. Nilesh has been working on the Wikidata entity suggester. There is now a team of students who are working on the entity suggester to get it finished and ready for production as part of their bachelor project. It would be good if you could work together and coordinate on the public wikidata-tech list. I'm sure with you all working together we can provide the Wikidata community with the great entity suggester they are waiting for. Virginia and co: Are you still having issues with the data import? Maybe Nilesh can help you with that as a first good step.
Cheers Lydia
