Hello, I am interested in contributing time to the Wikidata project. I'm CTO for a consulting company in Ohio (USA), and come from a custom application development background. I have a strong background in web applications and relational databases, and have been recently working with non-relational databases, mobile applications and distributed data tools (ie Hadoop).
I am relatively new to the semantic web area, but would like to find a way to help with the project. It would seem logical to try to help with coding and / or documentation type tasks, but I'm open to suggestions. I read through the the project info and FAQs. Per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/FAQ#How_can_I_get_involved.3F, I'm asking how I can help. -Tim Hoolihan

That's awesome, Tim! Please give me until early next week to get back to you with details. I need to sort out a few things first. Since the project only starts for real on Monday I will still need a bit to see where your help would be used best. If you want you can send me some things you've worked on here or off-list in the meantime.
Cheers Lydia
Hey,I was also looking forward to help. I'm a hobbyist coder (can do minor hacks), and also willing to help with any on wiki work which maybe relatively less important to you. Regards,Konarak Ratnakar

Great. I'll put you on my list too then.

Hi, I am also a hobby coder. I have always wanted to participate in a wiki project in some way. I would appreciate being a part of this group. Thanks, Alan Williams On Mar 30, 2012 6:02 PM, "Lydia Pintscher" lydia.pintscher@wikimedia.de wrote:

Great! :) Ok since there are probably a lot more people on this list who want to help out let's do this differently and not flood the list. I will make it my top priority for the next days to get some structure into this and figure out the best ways for everyone to contribute. I will then email back to the list with details.
Cheers Lydia
