Dear Wikimedians!
I’m Danny <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Danny_Benjafield_(WMDE)>
and I am delighted to join Wikimedia Deutschland as a Community
Communications Manager for the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team.
Since its inception, Wikidata has been invaluable in reducing the workload
and maintenance of countless projects across many languages and as it has
grown, the demands on the Wikidata team have increased.
The establishment of this new team will translate to additional dedicated
staff to develop and champion that initial goal of Wikidata: promoting the
integration of Wikidata into the Wikimedia Projects!
My role as Community Communications Manager is to connect with editors,
engage with communities, promote collaboration with developers, foster and
encourage the integration of Wikidata with your projects.
Progress only happens with your input!
Communication and community-centric development are guiding principles to
Wikimedia Deutschland and our team exists to help you get the most out of
Wikidata for your project.
To that end, we will soon be asking for your feedback, requests and
starting conversations about how your project can benefit from Wikidata
integration!
I just wanted to say hello and am eager to connect with you in the coming
months, whether in person or virtually at Meetups, or drop me a message at
my Talk <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Danny_Benjafield_(WMDE)> page
or an email at:

Best regards,
