Development

- We had to adapt Wikibase to some major changes (more major than usual, partly caused by discussions at Wikimania) in MediaWiki core: The default Vector skin became it’s own component and the ResourceLoader got some small but important updates.
- Continued work on refactoring code of the user interface to make it ready for new design
- Wrote a script to get number of users having wikidata in their recent changes/watchlist from the database
