Hello,

In the pre-conference of SWIB18 [1], Stacy Allison-Cassin and Dan Scott have lead yesterday a great workshop on "Wikibase: configure, customize, and collaborate".

Among others, the discussion on the panel have show the big interest on a decentralized mode to use Wikidata throug a network of Wikibase instances.

To implement it, we have identify the following needs:

• Wikibase instance on Docker have to be update to current version of the software.
• A users' community have to be build and remain in close connecting interactions with the development team.
• Performing Import and export script between Wikidata and Wikibase have to be achieve.
• Connecting Properties have to be developping in the way to interoperate the instances.

Is the Wikidata Community agree with this proposal? The development team also?

Is it necessary to open a second mailing-list dedicate to Wikibase?

Where is the best place to discuss of all this things?

Best Regards

Baptiste
