Hi folks,

the use of AllOurIdeas for prioritizing community requests came up in a
conversation about the Community Tech wishlist this morning. I realized I'd
never followed up on this thread to report the results of the informal poll
I set up in March.

As of this morning, nearly 1,000 votes have been cast. This is the full
ranked list of ideas that were submitted and evaluated:
http://allourideas.org/wikidata/results

I copy here the top 10 results and their score*:

   1. Wiktionary data 89
   2. Use of data on Wikipedia 83
   3. Support in-context editing of wikidata content shown on Wikipedia
   articles so that 'edit-this-page' keeps working seamlessly 75
   4. Statistics of re-use of data from Wikidata 72
   5. Automatically generated list pages on Wikipedia 64
   6. Federation: Re-use of wikidata items and properties on other Wikibase
   instances. 64
   7. Unit conversion 64
   8. Wizard-style dialog for entering references 64
   9. Tools to monitor the changes in a query 63
   10. Automatically suggest references from high quality sources that we
   as a community have compiled 57


(* "the score of an idea is the estimated chance that it will win against a
randomly chosen idea. For example, a score of 100 means the idea is
predicted to win every time and a score of 0 means the idea is predicted to
lose every time.")

The tool is still accepting new votes and new ideas, so I encourage you to
check it out if you haven't yet: http://allourideas.org/wikidata
