Hi Gerard (and everyone interested in list generation)
Dynamic lists are an interesting point since currently most (manually generated) Lists of Wikipedia are static.
I would love to hear more about the issues and workflows around dynamic lists to understand their use better. Some things that are on my mind:
- What are things that a dynamic lists helps you with? (do you have some real-life examples?)
- Where might a static list be a better approach? (do you have some real-life examples?)
- What are current workflows with Listeria? I think I remember that people in our interviews (thanks to everyone who participated!) mentioned that the generation process currently needs to be triggered manually. Is that just because there is no automatic way or does it provide you with advantages, too?
If there are any other things that might help us to understand your needs better, please share, ideally with an example (in my experience, this makes it much easier to understand the workflow, motivation and it’s context)

Hoi,
I learned that for writing about gender issues the list generated by
Listeria are used. The big advantage is that these lists are not fixed.
Regularly people write new articles about women and consequently these
lists change.
It is this functionality that is really needed and I do not get from the
lists examples that need such regular updates.
Thanks,
GerardM
