Dear all,

Denny and I are happy to report that our first general overview article on Wikidata has now been accepted for publication at Communications of the ACM. \o/ The article has not appeared yet, but we have published our accepted manuscript [1]. The final article should be published with Open Access, and thus be available at the official CACM website without subscription, but this may still take a bit of time (and some copyediting).

We hope that this will help to introduce many more people to the project. It was written with a very wide audience in mind. All statistics in the article are quite recent (based on the dumps + daily dumps up to Feb 20 2014), but we will try to update them once more before publication (if at all possible).

Cheers,

Markus
