“ Okay, that reminds me that we now have the namespace Module: which is for LUA coding, which is more efficient and powerful than template coding, though also more complex. It drives numbers of new templates like AC, and the Wikibase scripts. The usage of the data at WD back to the respective wikis has been slow, as can be expected while data is collated, tools built, confidence gained, people educated. Primarily, it has been building the one to one relationship, though the extension of arbitrary access is now becoming more widely available. ”

“ Linked to this, probably the biggest change is Wikidata: and how we now have our long wished for centralised data place, and can pull metadata, including links, images, etc., which means with some of our creating/updating of author templates we can auto-populate. Much of the power of that automated data is really still to come, and we still haven't been the best denizens there populating our data/knowledge. ”

“ The unz.org site is selective in the periodicals it presents, according to the review I read, and I couldn't find no signs of Life content there. Searching on 'Life' presents other problems, flooding the results with other "Life, but not as we know it", and, as I said above, I am not always able to access the works through google books anyway. I had also considered whether you could create a bibliography at wikipedia, linked from a PD list here, there is more value in making it available there (IMO!) ”
