Hi Everyone,

My name is Bernardo and I work as a Business Intelligence Consultant in Toronto, Canada. I've been reading pretty much everything about WikiData over the past few days, and I'm really excited about this project! I would love to participate and collaborate in developing tools to bring data from external sources, particularly the vast open data sets that are so common right now. 

I have some questions about the project and how can I participate, that you might be able to help me with:

1) I know the data import is planned for a future phase 2. Do you think it would be useful to start working on some of that now?

2) I also learned that you guys had a round table on June 21 about this topic (wish I could have known about Wikidata and been there!) but I couldn't find what the outcome of that discussion was. Is there anywhere where I can find what was discussed there?

3) Is there anyone else on the list working on the subject of how to bring data in? I have some ideas on the subject, but again, don't know if this is too early in the project.

Thanks,

Bernardo Najlis
