Heya folks,

Sorry... Fail on my side last Friday. I sent the summary to the wrong
list. Fixing this with this email.


Here's what has been going on last week in Wikidata.
(The wiki version is here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Status_updates/2012_10_05)

= Development =
* Added various new DataValue classes
* Worked on ‘edit’ buttons for non-JavaScript version of entity views
* Worked on resourceloader module for sites
* Tests for PropertyView and CreateProperty
* Tests for Uniqueness of Properties & Items
* Tests for propagation of Item deletion/undeletion to client wiki
* Tests for change propagation to Watchlists on client wiki
* HTML validation results for Wikibase are now online:
http://wikidata-docs.wikimedia.de/htmlvalidation/
* Special:CreateProperty is renamed to Special:NewProperty, to avoid
naming conflicts in translatewiki with other extensions
* Work on scripts for rebuilding and resetting data stores in the client
* The client now handles when an item gets deleted on the repository
* Wrote fixes for security concerns raised during review by WMF
* Working on Wikidata branch in preparation of merging it into core/master soon.
