Greetings everyone,
As you may be aware of if you read the other emails in the list, the
summaries will now be translatable for the next 6 issues as a trial. As
such, I will continue to post the English version below but before will
include a link to the Special:MyLanguage version. Enjoy!
You can read the summary in your language here:

<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17195970>) for articles which have a
related property in Wikidata.
- User:Thepwnco <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Thepwnco> is working
on a documentation overhaul and updating Help pages for a FOSS project
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Feed_the_Gnomes_-_Wikidata_Outreach> -
leave feedback on suggested changes here

- First concept designs of Wikidata's possible new interface
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:UI_redesign_input>
- GenderCounter <http://gendercounter.net/> uses Wikidata to provide an
accurate service with distinguishing male and female names
- ca.wikipedia found a nice way to use Wikidata. They're comparing their
living people to Wikidata to see if any of them have a date of death there.
They're then put into a category for review: ca:Categoria:Persones vives
a revisar

Development
- Created a script that provides the schema creation SQL for Wikibase
Query
- Releases Wikibase Internal Serialization 1.1
- Made WikibaseDataModelJavascript a separate component at
https://github.com/wmde/WikibaseDataModelJavascript.
- Continued working on full redirect support for items. It touches a
surprising big chunk of the code base.
- Continued working on the QueryEngine code base and it’s data type
support.
- Fixed and updated the most recent implementation of the property and
item selector widget, e.g. a MonoBook specific bug.
- Pushed along reviews and deployment of the entity suggester code that
will make suggestions for new properties to be added to items. Our hope is
to have it through performance review for the next deployment.
- Pushed along reviews of the “in other projects” sidebar:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Beta_Features/Other_projects_sidebar

Note from John
Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit
of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff'
won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable
at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the
delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Base>. This is purely a trial and if
you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You
can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Status_updates/2014_06_21>!
Also sorry for this one being late :)
