Hello everyone,
I think it'd be a pleasure to work with the team. This is the first time I'm hearing of this development, probably because I've been a bit out of the loop since last month. I've been busy with academic assignments, projects and exams in college among other things. I haven't been able to work on the Suggester during this period.
After 13th December, I'll be at my leisure and intend to get back to working on the entity suggester. I think it's a good idea to set a date and have an IRC meeting with the student team, Lydia, Daniel et al., to figure out where the project is standing, what needs to be done - enumerate the development goals (if they are supposed to be changed, something added/removed) and deployment goals, what the timeline will be, blah blah.
I'm looking forward to this.
Cheers, Nilesh

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
