[Wikidata-l] Translations
by Snaevar 01 May '12

01 May '12

Translations of Wikibase and WikibaseClient can now be done at translatewiki.net. For some reason that I am unaware of, they are located with the group names Wikidata Repo and Wikidata Client. http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate/ext-wikidataclient http://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate/ext-wikidatarepo

[Wikidata-l] WikiData/Scrum Item #47 (was: Re: Forward of moderated message)
by Lydia Pintscher 01 May '12

01 May '12

> Hi there! Hi! :) You sent your initial email to wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org. We're not using that one. Please use wikidata-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org instead. > I went ahead and used git to download the latest source code, however I didn't see any code related to wikidata? Did you follow http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Setup ? You want to look for "Wikibase" as that is the name for the extensions. > I was looking at the items which needed to be completed and was interested in helping out with item #47: > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Current_scrum_cycle > How do I go about helping out with this task? John (CC'd) is working on that. He might be able to tell more. > I was also looking at the list of bugs from here: > https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/weekly-bug-summary.cgi?tops=10&days=7 > Just wondering are these bugs for Wikidata or other wikipedia sites? There are a lot of bugs in bugs.wikimedia.de related to Mediawiki and its extensions. There is only one so far for Wikidata since we only started at the beginning of the month. > What is the difference between MediaWiki and Wikimedia? MediaWiki is the software running the Wikipedias and many more websites. Wikimedia is the movement around Wikipedia and its related projects.

"Compile millions of links to old (but still copyrighted) works, with a countdown field (in days) until they enter in the public domain..." Sounds a bit like: "ARROW infrastructure allows streamlining the process of identification of authors, publishers and other rightholders of a work, including whether it is orphan, in or out of copyright or if it is still commercially available..." http://www.arrow-net.eu/presenting-arrow-system Michael
