Hi Jan,
The main issue that comes up for me with Listeria is with the 'section by
property' feature. There is currently no control over how it deals with
multiple values, so a simple list of people sectioned by occupation can
lead to very misleading results.
Every item appears only once on the list, so someone with two occupations
will just end up in one section or the other.
Ideally you need some way to specify how to choose between multiple vales.
Some possible options that would help a lot :
1. Just take the most recent value (according to a time qualifier)
2. Just take the highest ranked value
3. Use an arbitrary variable from the sparql query instead of just a
property
4. Allow items to appear in multiple sections
The idea being that the list-creating user can choose between a set of
possible methods for consolidating multiple values. Obviously with some
logical default set for when no selection has been made.
Cheers,
Nav

Thanks! This is very helpful for me.
The wikitext overwriting is a good point and it is easy to understand that
this leads to confusion.
For handcrafted lists: For now, we only have some rather vague ideas how
to supplement lists with custom data, but it is something that turned out
to be very important for users and I'll continue working on this.
