Talk:Wikimedia Discovery/FAQ

Be clearer on data sources
The first mention of "data sources" is
 * and incorporating new data sources for our projects

But that just links to a map, which seems to be a different way to display search results. Please give actual potential data sources instead of an unclear link, thanks. -- SPage (WMF) (talk) 19:47, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The section below calls out that its supported by external OSM data. That data corpus includes items (buses, trains, etc) that are outside of what our elastic indices include. RU WikiVoyage and soon EN WIkiVoyage will default to our tiles and are already starting to surface transit, points of interest, and articles for discovery of new content. As for other data I cite 'census, national gallery, etc' in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Discovery/FAQ#If_you.27re_adding_new_data_sources.2C_isn.27t_that_a_search_engine.3F but that's really up for a community discussion of what data sources can help in the same way that OSM did Tfinc (talk) 19:57, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

orphan
This page has been up for a week but, as of the time of writing this literally nothing links to this page, it's an orphan. That's kind of ironic given that it's a strategy document for the 'discovery' team :-) Is there a plan for when this 'not-a-knowledge-engine' strategy will be announced widely?

 * Thanks for the feedback. I've linked it from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Discovery so it's no longer an orphan. Next we'll be adding a set of wiki pages to compliment the discussions that have been happening on phabricator, email lists, and on wiki to bring it all together Tfinc (talk) 21:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Also would love your feedback on the Discovery Roadmap linked in the FAQ. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Discovery_Year_0-1-2.pdf Tfinc (talk) 21:17, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
