Garretts mint flower: curious to learn after CC WUaS is donated to CC Wikidata for its birthday, how I and others can keep developing it in a newly modified WUaS MediaWiki (accessible here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/), Looking forward to the Wikimedia_Developer_Summit_2016 in San Francisco, CA


Hi Quim, and Juan (and Lydia and Larry),

Thanks. I'd like to introduce you, Quim, and Juan Mendez to one another here as well. Juan is a Board member at CC World University and School (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Foundation - as is Larry), from Spain and who also lives in Spain, and is a programmer also. Quim works with Wikidata (is the Engineering Community Manager - international contractor - Wikimedia Foundation - https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/User:Qgil-WMF), is from Spain, and lives in Germany now, having lived in Mountain View in the Bay Area for 4 years, if I remember correctly, Juan. Quim and I had a 30 minute Skype conversation a few months ago about WUaS and the "Wiki Loves Open Data," for which WUaS wasn't the right fit at the time, I think.

I'm glad to write that CC WUaS has successfully prepared to donate our beginning Wikia wiki to CC Wikidata (i.e. we've gotten into the Wikidata daily log for example), but I haven't yet learned how I can keep developing it in a newly modified WUaS MediaWiki (accessible here -  http://worlduniversityandschool.org/) or how we'll dovetail further with Wikidata's development planning. Our contacts seem to be you, Lydia, Magnus and Languages Engineering Team, with whom WUaS had a recent hour-long meeting in video conference which video you'll find here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/10/asian-black-bear-world-university-and.html.

I'm curious to learn after CC WUaS is donated to CC Wikidata for its birthday, how I and others can keep developing it in a newly modified WUaS MediaWiki (accessible here -  http://worlduniversityandschool.org/). Would Serge Stratan, for example, be able to begin development of World University and School in Wikidata as outlined in this proposal - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/10/asian-black-bear-world-university-and.html? Might I please send related MediaWiki password information (which is already installed but buggy) to him or similar at some point, Lydia?

Looking forward to the Wikimedia_Developer_Summit_2016 in San Francisco, CA between January 4th and January 6th, 2016 - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Developer_Summit_2016 - which I registered for on October 2, 2015, and signed up in the process to give a presentation, but am happy to forego this.

I unfortunately won't be able to attend the Wikidata birthday party on October 29th from the SF Bay Area, and send my regrets.

Thank you.

Best,
Scott
