Heya folks,
Sorry... Fail on my side last Friday. I sent the summary to the wrong list. Fixing this with this email.
Here's what has been going on last week in Wikidata. (The wiki version is here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Status_updates/2012_10_05)
= Development = * Added various new DataValue classes * Worked on ‘edit’ buttons for non-JavaScript version of entity views * Worked on resourceloader module for sites * Tests for PropertyView and CreateProperty * Tests for Uniqueness of Properties & Items * Tests for propagation of Item deletion/undeletion to client wiki * Tests for change propagation to Watchlists on client wiki * HTML validation results for Wikibase are now online: http://wikidata-docs.wikimedia.de/htmlvalidation/ * Special:CreateProperty is renamed to Special:NewProperty, to avoid naming conflicts in translatewiki with other extensions * Work on scripts for rebuilding and resetting data stores in the client * The client now handles when an item gets deleted on the repository * Wrote fixes for security concerns raised during review by WMF * Working on Wikidata branch in preparation of merging it into core/master soon.
See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Current_sprint for what we’re working on next.
