Goal 1a: Grow reach of Wikidata into the Wikimedia project
Wikidata’s first and foremost function is to provide a structured data backbone for the Wikimedia projects. Despite all the interest from entities external to the movement, in 2016 WMDE Software Development will continue to put a strong focus on making Wikidata even more meaningful, useful and utilized by Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and other sister projects. Our strategy here lies in continued development of the project’s usability and in offering useful features. These features are aimed at making contributions to the Wikimedia projects easier and the process of editing an amazing and rewarding experience. To be continued here.

We plan quartely and adjust activities accordingly.
