See below for a note from David Cuenca, whom I met at the Hackathon. He is looking for design and product feedback from EE folk about a feature he would like to implement.

Hey Ori,
Thanks for your time during the Hackathon for checking out the additional content card that Pau Giner suggested for making Wikimedia content from sister projects more visible https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Inte-project_card_mockup.png On the RFC nobody complained about it, more on the contrary it was a very liked option. Unfortunately it came late when the surge of commenters had already left, but I can well imagine that it will gather more positive feedback when presented again. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Interproject_links_inte... Which relates to: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708
Thomas (User:Tpt) has begun to implement this mockup. To ckeck it out, add this line to your common.js in Wikipedia mw.loader.load('// www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tpt/interproject.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );
It will show a "+" sign next to the article title. When hovering the mouse over the symbol, it will display Wikidata information. On this first version it only displays basic info, but in the future it could display Wikisource, Wikivoyage, Wikiquotes, etc. content or links.
I would need some guidance with two things, the first one is about selecting the right icon... maybe you guys have some ideas about how to make this "+" more likeable, maybe even replacing it for some different icon? And the second one is more regarding product management, do you have some standard procedure about how to proceed?
I can imagine that creating a RFC would be the first step (done), and maybe writing a blog post about it (doable), what would come next after that and what would be a realistic time frame?
Hopefully you or your colleague Steven Walling could give some advice.
Cheers, David Cuenca --Micru
