SUL finalisation (which is broadly a blocker to much of this work) is currently underway and should help make a lot of cross-cluster desired tools a great deal easier to build. This isn't the only piece of work, but it's been enough to discourage work on these areas for many years. At Wikimania, a number of staff and volunteer developers re-started work on a global repository for gadgets. I was part of initial discussions around a global repository for source references with structured data stored on Wikibase somehow, and similar considerations for Wikiquote and Wikisource. I'm sure lots of helpful follow-up e-mails, suggestions, RfCs and the like will be written in the next few weeks as people get back from the conference and have the time to communicate their work. So… "we" are. But why aren't you, too? Development is and has always been a group effort. Patches welcome! J. -- James D. Forrester Product Manager, Editing Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.
