The dev team is committed to a strategy that is about building an ecosystem around Wikidata. This means making Wikibase more usable and useful outside Wikimedia. We have put words and work into this and we will continue to do so. It matters to me that Wikidata is not a single oasis in a big dessert but a big tree in flourishing jungle. We want much more data to be open, machine-readable and accessible but it doesn't have to all be and shouldn't all have to be on Wikidata. > Is it necessary to open a second mailing-list dedicate to Wikibase? There is one already for the Wikibase user group at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibaseug that we are using. > Where is the best place to discuss of all this things? On that mailinglist is fine :) Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
