Hello,
I am investigating with several people other the rainbow in GNU project as part of guix [0].
Our goal is to make our packages easier to discover by our users via full-text search or structured queries.
Questions:
a) I see Arch and Debian have properties. What would it take to have a guix property?
b) Is there already a group of people working together to put in place a list of requirements for software entities to be considered good in the sens of wikidata?
c) What level of notoriety requires a software to be included in wikidata?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Amirouche,
Maybe you want to talk to Katherine Thornton. You can read her paper here:
Modeling the Domain of Digital Preservation in Wikidata https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/work/Q41533080 https://ipres2017.jp/wp-content/uploads/7.pdf
You can see some of the software in Wikidata in this Scholia listing: https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/use/
I do not think we have a guix property. You can suggest one here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal
I do not know where the notability level is for software, but for big programs, items for individual versions exist, see, e.g., STATA 13.0 https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/use/Q32106849

As far as I can tell you confusing the items and properties here?
guix already has an item https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q18968627
b) Is there already a group of people working together to put in place a list of requirements for software entities to be considered good in the sens of wikidata?
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Informatics and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Informatics/Software could be good starting points.
c) What level of notoriety requires a software to be included in wikidata?
The general notability policy will apply https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Notability I'm not sure if the wikiproject linked above will have any further guidelines.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I¹ added most of those and I'm interested in helping with stuff around free software on wikidata. Best you bring it up in one of the two following projects:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Informatics https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Informatics/FLOSS
