Lea,
I think this is the first time I’ve read this newsletter and understood everything that it
said. Thank you to you, Nicolas Vigneron, Hady Elsahar, Pau Cabot, Simon Cobb and Ewan
McAndrew for your patience and insights into the world of Wikidata at last week’s Celtic
Knot conference. It was a real example of community knowledge exchange and support.
Best wishes,
Delphine Dallison
