This is going nowhere, one of the big issues is that there is a lack of understanding on how WikiData works and whats it purpose is.
Wikimedia Australia solution is invest community money into bringing someone who has contributed to Wikidata to Australia to do a series of talks and workshops around the country over a three week period.
Ah, that sounds interesting. Could you provide more information about that please? I havent seen this mentioned on the public mailing lists before.
Wikimedia Indonesia is doing a Wikidata project next year and lapping up all the training they can get. I am sure they would be interested in having a trainer stop over in Jakarta on the way to or from Australia.
This is a followup considered from the now defunct WMAU conference in QLD with that falling through the committee decided to continue this part as it was one of the important features that needs to be better understood locally.
Details will be sent out after the silly season in short it will start in mid febraury in Melbourne coinciding with a libraries conference there, from there upto sydney, then onto canberra to coincide with a conference there then across to Perth from Perth the person will be heading home via Dubai. There is a mini conference planned in Perth that WMID would be welcome to send people to with a workshop focusing on experienced contributors to other projects on the next day as well.
Full details will be published in Early January
