Hi everyone,<div><br></div><div>If you hadn&#39;t heard, the Wikimedia Foundation has started the first round of what is planned to be be a twice-annual program to fund individuals and small groups to work on projects that further the WMF&#39;s goals - &quot;individual engagement grants&quot;:</div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG</a></div><div><br></div><div>I have a proposal currently in place for a project that relates to Wikidata. It&#39;s a Javascript &quot;data browser&quot;, that would provide a drill-down interface to let users navigate through the data of Wikipedia, Wikidata, and any standard MediaWiki-based wiki, without overloading the server with queries. This would be accomplished by using browser-based data storage, which would also enable fast navigation on mobile devices, and even offline use. The downside is that it would mean, for the case of Wikipedia/Wikidata, that it could only store a small fraction of the overall data; but there could be multiple &quot;apps&quot; for different subject matters - one for cars, one for buildings, one for politicians, and so on.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can read my proposal here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/MediaWiki_data_browser">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/MediaWiki_data_browser</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Any feedback is welcome, here or on the proposal talk page; and there&#39;s a section at the bottom for endorsements, if you would like to see this project happen.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div>
