Hoi, All discussion on the WikiData proposal is explicitly welcome. When you are interested in cooperating in the development of WikiData, you are more than welcome to do so. With the details of the RFC you find the likely timetable will be. When you are interested in helping in the development of the project you are more than welcome. The part where the GEMET database will be implemented in the Mediawiki software is included because the design and the data of this database can both be used based on the GEMET data that can be found here: http://www.eionet.eu.int/GEMET. This is a big important body of work and already has data in 20 languages, it will allow us to add content in any and all other languages and it is included because it will give us the opportunity to experiment with the user interface. The current GEMET database does have XML data available and we are hopefull that we will find people willing to help with an XML import and export module. The development as outlined in the plan is what will be done. With more people working on the project we will be able to get better functionality. It is a project that is part of the Mediawiki environment and as such it is open for colaboration. By not commenting before the deadline the project will start on the given date. By commenting before the deadline the project may start a week later if the comments make this a necessity. At all times comments are invited. Thanks, GerardM Jonathan Leybovich wrote:
