As I already told you on IRC this is pretty awesome \o/ Please keep us posted on the progress. Cheers Lydia ________________________ Joan, This is a very cool development. I'm going to follow this closely. Now that the technology is here to make mass uploads, I wonder how this is going to effect the policy of Wikidata accepting batch-uploads. At Wikimania I remember Daniel saying that it's going to be discouraged to import a lot of data at once. I wonder now that we have this interface, will that change? What type of pywikidata bots are going to be allowed to run?
