Hi everyone,
The StrepHit team [1] has submitted an official uplift proposal for the primary sources tool [2].
This is part of a Wikimedia project grant [3], which has 2 big goals: 1. to improve the reference coverage of Wikidata statements; 2. to standardize the data release workflow for third-party providers.
We have worked hard integrating past discussions, extensively investigating MediaWiki and Wikidata code bases, interacting with specific people from the community. Now we are pretty much satisfied with our proposal, and we hope you are too. Feel free to react on the project page!
Special thanks go to the StrepHit folks Tommaso (User:Kiailandi) and Francesco (User:Afnecors) and everyone who supported us in this delicate phase
Best,
Marco
