Documenting Wikidata projects in shared projects googlesheet 

  • What’s the purpose & scope? Discussed last meeting:

    • What people in this group are currently working on

    • Additional tab for compiling resources/projects we’re finding useful

    • Could share with TDL community (Some tempered enthusiasm about using the spreadsheet to share and invite others to share projects, id other Wikidata initiatives in TDL community)

  • What else should be added to this sheet before sharing?

    • We should complete as many columns as possible with links available to anyone, if we’re planning to share outside this group

    • Do we need to create a Wikidata Project page for each project?

  • How much more time do we want to spend on this sheet?

    • What value do folks actually working on Wikidata projects see in taking next steps?

    • HRC Wikidata project is in holding pattern at this time.

    • Value is more as tracking the Wikidata work to date, and using as a reference (to consult or share in future contexts)
