Heya folks :)

I am super excited! Wikimedia has accepted 3 excellent students to
work on Wikidata as part of GSoC this year. They'll be working on
language fallbacks, an entity suggester and mobilizing Wikidata.
Another student has been accepted by DBpedia to work on Wikidata and
DBPedia. Crowdsourcing Biology has accepted a student to work on
converting Gene Wiki Bot to work with Wikidata. So there is lot's of
Wikidata goodness coming this summer.

Please give them a warm welcome. I am sure they'll say hi here soon
and keep you updated on their work.


Cheers
Lydia
