We are looking for a python developer to create bots for uploading economic statistics into Wikidata. Economic data is usually from non-controversial sources such as the World Bank, IMF and other government sources.
Statistics include GDP, GDP by industry, employment by industry, government budgets, inflation, etc.
The python developer who builds the bots will be paid as part of this newly proposed IEG: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Global_Economic_Map
If you have the python skill and want to be apart of this project, you can just send me a message here.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Alex

I think Pywikibot developers ([[mw:PWB]]https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/PWB) will help you. As one of the developers of PWB and a bot operator in Wikidata (with more than 8M edits) I think legoktm (another dev and bot operator) and I can help you.
Tell me the tasks with more details, I'll do it
