Hi!
Which of the following statements are most accurate
given the technical
roadmap of Wikibase?
(1a) Wikibase will continue to support arbitrary precision values for
coordinates, and the UI will be extended so people can actually enter them.
(1b) Wikibase will restrict the set of supported precision values for
coordinates to those already supported in the UI. Other values are
considered an error that will have to be fixed in the future.
I'm not in the know about the technical roadmap, but I have a question -
why would arbitrary precision be needed? I.e., 0.01''[1] is a
centimeter-scale resolution. I'm not sure what coordinates can be even
known with such resolution, let alone be needed for anything practical.
