Hi Lydia,
Thank you for the information. I really like the subtitle «a database for historians» :)
Is there any possibility to have in English the texts in the FactGrid blog? I haven't enough knowledge of German to read fluently.
I would like to attend but it is impossible for me. Will you make any report about the workshop in this mailing list or in Wikidata?
Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone :)
We are working with researchers from the University of Erfurt on a project called FactGrid. The goal is to build a wiki for researchers to collect data related to their research. It will use Wikibase as the underlying technology, just like Wikidata. We'll start with data related to the Illuminati based on the Gothaer Illuminati Research Database. You can find blog posts with more details and musings here: https://blog.factgrid.de I started a page on Wikidata about it here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:FactGrid My hope is that this will be one of the many Wikibase installations in Wikidata's ecosystem in the future that is highly connected with Wikidata and that Wikidata can partially import data from where wanted and needed. There will be a kick-off workshop at Wikimedia Deutschland's office in Berlin on the 1st and 2nd of December. It'd be great if we have a few more people there who want to drive this project forward and can help with their experience on Wikidata. If you'd like to attend please let me know. Details about the workshop are here: https://blog.factgrid.de/archives/159
