Hi Virginia,
Let's have a text chat with all of you about this over the weekend. I
would prefer IRC. We can meet on #wikidata and set up a temporary
channel if necessary and discuss there. Please suggest 2 time ranges
each for 18th and 19th.
I checked out your Intelligent Forms documentation at
https://github.com/Wikidata-lib/Wikidata.lib/wiki/Intelligent-Forms#wiki-XM…
and the demo at
http://suggester.wmflabs.org/wiki/index.php/Spezial:PropertySuggester.
The demo seems pretty impressive.
Of the two things that you mentioned in the email, I can probably
contribute something with the first and the third.
Cheers,
Nilesh

Hi,
We just introduced ourselves on the wikidata-l mailing list. We are
currently working on a Wikidata extension, in order to improve the process
of adding new statements to an item by displaying property suggestions that
fit the current item, when clicking "add new statement".
Currently there is the entity-selector which displays properties that match
the user input.
We would like to integrate another source of suggestions into the entity
selector. For this purpose we developed an api method that provides property
suggestions for a certain item.
We wonder how to implement the following functionality:
- adding a new source of suggestions to the entity selector from an
extension
- display suggestions "on focus", when the input field is empty.
- combine the existing search results with suggestions from the new
suggester api method.
We probably need to make the entity-selector more modular, which would
require changes in Wikibase.
We are happy about every kind of help.
Moritz, Felix, Christian, Virginia
