Hello Markus, Glad to see the wikidata toolkit project has kicked off.
As a previous user of wikidata and pywikipedia(knowing its shortcomings), i fully support the project. I would like to get involved and contribute to the toolkit. I have forked on github and i am currently setting up, working my way around. Would ping back to u if i get stuck. Hoping for a positive reply. --Chinmay On Wed, Feb 19, 2014 at 7:15 PM, Markus Kroetzsch < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > The new Wikidata Toolkit project has started this week, so here is a brief > update.
