Heya folks,
Here is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2012-07-06. The wiki version is at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Status_updates/2012_07_01 I've been away for a week of vacation but it looks like the rest of the team did well without me for a bit :P
= Development = * Sprint 8 has finished and Sprint 9 has started, a two-week sprint that will go on throughout Wikimania * Most of the items linked are now shown with their label instead of the cryptic ID * Switching languages is getting better and better * Search is working * A doxygen documentation is online at http://wikidata-docs.wikimedia.de/
See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Current_sprint for what we’re working on next.
= Discussions/Press = * The Wikidata logo submission has been closed as planned, and the voting has started. So far we had more than 500 votes, and the voting is open until next week. The winner of the contest will be announced at Wikimania.
= Events = see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Events
* Wikipedia Academy * Wikipedia Meetup NYC * upcoming: Wikimania with several talks * On a short notice, we will have a talk at the New York Times, open to the public, on Thursday, July 19th, at 7pm
Anything to add? Please share! :)
Cheers Lydia
Hi Everyone, Been a while stuff came up :(.
As I look at the following link: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Current_sprint
1) What are story points? 2) I am interested in helping out with the following: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38174. Any suggestions of where to begin?

Hi! Good to see you back.
As I look at the following link: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Current_sprint
- What are story points?
They are numbers that express how much work the team thinks is needed to complete the task. They help when comparing tasks and estimating how much the team can do in a given time. They are part of scrum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(development)
- I am interested in helping out with the following:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38174. Any suggestions of where to begin?
Daniel (CC'd) is the one working on that. So best get in contact with him. However it might be a bit hard to pick something from the current sprint. If this does not work out then you can check this list as well: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Backlog These things are not being worked on in the current sprint so it is probably easier. If one of the items there sounds interesting but you need more info let me know.
Cheers Lydia
Hi Daniel,
I think I may be able to help with the following: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38174
Should I go ahead and download the code using the following link and which subdirectory can I find the existing code which you may have started on? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Setup
Let me know where I can help. It may be easier for me to help out with testing that way I get to know the code a little better or do one of the items on the backlog:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Backlog.
Cheers! Aniket
