• try to use GraphQL for the API providing access to Wikibase/Wikidata data
• allow to programmatically access different configuration variables of a Wikibase instance to make it easier for tools to built on top of it
• investigate ranking for Items to order them by their relevance in a query result
• com up with a workflows for editing statements linking to other Items in the Wikidata Bridge
• identify how to improve Wikidata's accessibility
• create design system components to continue improving consistency

• Development
• Wikidata Bridge: Made a number of technical improvements to wrap up the work in the first version.
• Reference Hunt: Making final technical improvements and are now running the process to find references on the whole of Wikidata (as opposed to the initial small subset for testing). Once that's done we'll release them as a dump.
• Easier access to data for programmers: Researching and interviewing ways to improve the APIs in preparation for working on them.
• Query builder: Working on defining the first version and creating mockups based on the feedback we received.
• Use modern TypeScript syntax (3.2 -> 3.9) (phab:T253211)
• More technical documentation for Federated Properties (phab:T252991) & preparing for the next steps
• Convert some properties to external identifiers (phab:T253722)
