Heya folks :) Here's your short summary of what happened around Wikidata this week. The wiki version is at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Status_updates/2013_04_19
= Development = * Dispatch lag (http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:DispatchStats) is now down to 0 so changes should show up very quickly on the Wikipedias in watchlists and recent changes * wikidata.org now always redirects to www.wikidata.org. This should among other things solve the issue where people were not able to edit when on wikidata.org (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45005) * Fixed weird blocked-user/protected-page handling in UI (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45140) * Final meetings for the external professional review of our code and architecture. They were quite happy with the quality of the codebase and gave useful tips for improvements * Worked on automatic summaries for editing claims * Investigation of different JavaScript frameworks dealing with date and time * Worked on using Redis and the job queue for change notifications to clients * Work on the storage code for answering queries You can view the commits currently in review at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/%28+project:mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase+OR+project:mediawiki/extensions/Diff+OR+project:mediawiki/extensions/DataValues+OR+project:mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseSolr+OR+project:mediawiki/extensions/Ask+%29+status:open,n,z and the ones that have been merged at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/%28+project:mediawiki/extensions/Wikibase+OR+project:mediawiki/extensions/Diff+OR+project:mediawiki/extensions/DataValues+OR+project:mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseSolr+OR+project:mediawiki/extensions/Ask+%29+status:merged,n,z You can see all open bugs related to Wikidata [https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?emailcc1=1&list_id=151540&resolution=---&emailtype1=exact&emailassigned_to1=1&query_format=advanced&email1=wikidata-bugs%40lists.wikimedia.org here] = Events (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Events) / Press = * GLAM-WIKI 2013 * upcoming: office hour on IRC about sources * upcoming: Opensource Treffen * upcoming: intro to Wikidata at the British Library = Discussion = * RfC about references and sources: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/References_and_sources * RfC about local oversighters: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Defining_oversighters = Other Noteworthy Stuff = * Deployment of phase 2 (infoboxes) on English Wikipedia is planned for April 22.
