Reasonator
- By hovering over a wikilink you will see the first paragraphhttp://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-presents-first-wikipedia.html . - The "personal settings" allow you to import your Babel infohttp://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-improving-your-personal-space.html from Wikidata. This can be used to restrict the random items you will gethttp://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-bit-selective-not-random.html . - The first iteration of "on the fly" text generation for Englishhttp://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-johann-sebastian-bach-in-so.html. It works for "humans" and, is completely based on the available Wikidata information. - You can now add labels in your languagehttp://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-add-labels-in-your-language.html from within Reasonator. Technically oAuth is used. It now takes just one click to add a label in your language.

Development
- Wrote performance tests so we can track performance improvements better - Did a code review of all gadgets that are enabled by default in Wikidata. Found and fixed a performance bottleneck. - Work on making the interface more responsive, e. g. live preview when editing labels and updating the watchlist star when saving. - Started refactoring and fixing issues with automatically created summaries that are, for example, created by bots via API calls. - Fixed an issue with OAuth on Wikidata because of permissions - Started code review of the code the student team is working on for suggestions - Discussed updates to the data model document to be able to update it to the actual implementation - Did a technical debt analysis and design review of Wikibase.git, with initial focus on WikibaseLib - Got (backend) EntityStore on the way, so we can test API modules without touching the database - Further work on TimeParsers move to the backend
