OK, I'm going to merge some tickets on related ideas into this one to focus.

Please see comments on those tickets for further information.

This is about creating a plan of action for WASHNote as an organisation starting to be involved and participate in the wikipedia and wikidata ecosystems and what needs to be done.

Some links:

Wikimedia IRC channels, Wikidata channels specifically
Wikidata mailing list (see all of them here)
Wikidata "Data Donation"
Wikimedia NL, wikimedia.nl home page, Wikimedia NL mailing list
"5 star open data" page (Timbl approved)
How to contact the Wikidata community - Project chat or using IRC (see above ^^^)
How does Wikidata work?, Wikidata meta page

Thoughts:

If we come up with a clear first use case (see #25) then we can simply follow the path recommended in this section. We write up a short proposal document in our Wiki and then go chat on IRC and / or the project chat to find out how we can step this forward.
As far as I understand, we should just create our separate wikimedia accounts and work with those. You shouldn't have anything "washnote" in the username and that shouldn't be connected to it.

Actions:

Join #wikidata on freenode
Create a wikimedia account

@nickdickinson, I've gone ahead and asked you to follow up on the same actions (join the IRC and create an account) and now I think I've concluded my research on how we can get started with Wikidata. I'll update related tickets.
