Development

   - The dev team spent the last week prototyping a few things to learn if
   some things would be feasible/a good idea. Among other things we tried
   building a small tool to connect Senses to Items, looked into the different
   types of ontology issues that can be found on Wikidata and checked what
   using a document store for data storage would look like.
   - Note: from March 29th until April 12th, Mohammed Sadat (WMDE)
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Mohammed_Sadat_(WMDE)> is not
   available to answer messages. If you have any requests for the development
   team, please ask on Contact the development team
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:DEV>. For any emergency, you can
   contact Lea Lacroix (WMDE)
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lea_Lacroix_(WMDE)>. Because of
   Easter holidays in Germany, the upcoming newsletter will be issued one day
   later, on April 6th.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/4RotIcw5oINo/#R>. If you
want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/71/query/zfiRgTnZF7zu/?filter=zfiRgTnZF7zu&order=priority>.
