Hi All, I was thinking of creating a tool to help people write, edit and validate taxoboxes on en.wikipedia.org but then wikidata was pointed out to me. It looks like an exciting project.
Reading the technical proposal, phase 2, not to be done in project: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Technical_proposal#Not_to_be_done_by_the_project_2 I'm not clear whether existing data in infoboxes will be used to populate wikidata as it doesn't appear to come into any of the categories of data listed. Will this be automated or semi-automated task? Am I just not reading it correctly? *If* I were to a work on an editor tool would it be feasible to think in terms of editing existing syntax for now and in version two adding a "migrate to wikidata" button? Would all the exiting infoboxes move over to wikidata in a 'big bang' approach? My second (impossible) question: What time scale are we looking at for live infoboxes actually being populated by wikidata data?
