Hoi,
The Italian Wikipedia is the first project where people who use search will
find results added from Wikidata. As you may know, Wikidata knows has more
items with a label in a language than a Wikipedia has articles. With the
Wikidata based functionality people will gain several functionalities that
are new to them
- a link to Commons categories for a subject
- a link to Wikipedia articles in other languages
- a link to the Wikidata item
- visualisation care of the "Reasonator"
When there are multiple items found in the search request, disambiguation
will be provided based on the statements available on the items. Obviously
as more labels are available in a language for statements, the experience
will improve.
This is a really exciting new development and I want to thank Magnus and
Nemo for making it possible. I hope and expect that many Wikipedias will
follow the example of the Italian Wikipedia. Particularly the smaller
Wikipedias have much to gain from this new functionality.
Thanks,
GerardM

Dear Indian Wikimedians,
Those of you in the hacker community would be aware that the 30th Chaos
Communication Congress will be live streamed at a special event in a
himalayan hackerspace called Ghoomakad [1] between Dec 27-30.
Since it will be unique gathering of technologists in this remote region,
it is also an ideal opportunity to conduct a mediawiki hackathon/wikimedia
outreach that will be able to target a culturally diverse group of people
including the Tibetan exile community from Dharamshala which is 10 km away.
As one of the residents of the hackerspace and an active Wikimedian, I have
prepared a proposal to the Chapter to provide for travel and accommodation
scholarships to 4 Wikimedia volunteers who would like to lead and support a
hackathon in the village. You can see the detailed proposal and budget
breakdown here:
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Grants/Congress_Everywhere_Mediawiki_hackathon
Since time is short, those interested to lead the hackathon or conduct
outreach in the local schools can already apply for the travel scholarship
now:

PS: Do note that this grant is pending approval by the Chapter EC and the
scholarship is subject to that decision. In the meantime do share this with
any community member you might know in the Delhi/North area. Queries on the
proposal are also invited on the talk page of the proposal.
