Development

   - Still looking for an awesome
intern.<http://wikimedia.de/wiki/Working_student_Wikidata_(f/m)> Do
   you know someone who'd fit?
   - Bene* continued working hard on making “badges” (the “featured” and
   “good article” stars) in Wikidata a reality
   - Finishing touches for Statements on properties
   - Worked on better error messages when parsing failed
   - Updated the translations to use much easier to manage JSON files for
   each language
   - Made a list of hard to understand messages that should be reworded
   - Implemented a usable interface for Special:SimpleQuery
   - Closed a backdoor that let you change the property of a snak via the
   API, sorry guys
   - Continuous refactoring and improving of the code base that defines
   what Wikidata and the Wikibase extensions are
   - Kept Wikidata up to date with the typography update
   - Started to redesign the Wikibase page on
mediawiki.org<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase>
   - Investigated if standard spam prevention features of MediaWiki work as
   they should on Wikidata (Result: mostly yes but some fixes/tweaks are
   needed.)
   - Released version 1.0 of the Diff
extension.<http://www.bn2vs.com/blog/2014/04/10/diff-1-0-released/>
