Topic on User talk:Hjfocs

stale, the user who reached out never sent an e-mail, despite my request

Hello!,

I would like to collaborate with some information for Wikidata. This information consists on a list of triples like <subject, predicate, object> with existing entities, and I would like to use the Primary source tool, however it is not working. Will it be fixed soon?, or Is there another option?.

Thanks for your help!

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. Here's some background on the tool:

• it is currently broken because its backend is broken. This is version 1, developed by Sebastian. You should contact him to get more insights;
• I developed version 2, with a totally rewritten backend and a frontend as a MediaWiki extension;
• the MediaWiki extension went into a never-ending review process, for which extra resources should be allocated. Right now I don't have resources to address the review.

The result is:

• the deployed tool is still the old version;
• the old backend is the bottleneck;
• resources are needed to address the MediaWiki extension review.

The fastest fix would be to move the MediaWiki extension JavaScript modules to the frontend version 1 code.

If you are interested, let's talk in more depth. Cheers!

Thanks @Hjfocs!!. How can I help with this? "move the MediaWiki extension JavaScript modules to the frontend version 1 code".
