Unfortunately my SOLRSearch proposal was deemed ineligible the reason given that "extensions require code review from WMF to deploy" so I hope yours is more successful.

Hi everyone,
If you hadn't heard, the Wikimedia Foundation has started the first round of what is planned to be be a twice-annual program to fund individuals and small groups to work on projects that further the WMF's goals - "individual engagement grants":I have a proposal currently in place for a project that relates to Wikidata. It's a Javascript "data browser", that would provide a drill-down interface to let users navigate through the data of Wikipedia, Wikidata, and any standard MediaWiki-based wiki, without overloading the server with queries. This would be accomplished by using browser-based data storage, which would also enable fast navigation on mobile devices, and even offline use. The downside is that it would mean, for the case of Wikipedia/Wikidata, that it could only store a small fraction of the overall data; but there could be multiple "apps" for different subject matters - one for cars, one for buildings, one for politicians, and so on.You can read my proposal here:Any feedback is welcome, here or on the proposal talk page; and there's a section at the bottom for endorsements, if you would like to see this project happen.Thanks,
