Hey again,
"getting over" wasn't meant to be harsh. I was hoping though
"wiki" in
"Wikidata" stands for a the broader concept of "free and open", and
not a particular syntax for encoding knowledge.
I'm all for free and open knowledge, but I think sticking to the same
mechanisms which helped bootstrap Wikipedia is not a good idea when
building the next-generation semantic Wikidata. It prohibits
out-of-the-box thinking and evaluating new, state-of-the art
approaches in this area.
Wouldn't it be desired that the tasks on Wikidata could be done via an
intuitive user-interface rather than via wiki syntax? I would
certainly think so, and I also think it is doable.
There will be forms and the like to input information. We're trying to
make it as intuitive as possible.
Cheers
