Grateful for your work on wikibase.cloud

I'm a distant participant in the wikibase.cloud project; clear across the pond here in the US. I don't know the crew very well at WMDE but have enjoyed getting involved in a project and seeing how the group works. I'm very excited about the wikibase.cloud project and where that's headed, both personally and through my professional role. I could see Evelien's handiwork throughout the project as I got involved in issues I was finding in the closed beta and more recently. I got a view into the project management process via Phabricator issues along with Telegram discussions and was quite impressed with the form and structure to the project. I have no visibility into the funding model or the business apparatus, but the parts I can see inspire me with confidence on being part of and contributing to the work where I can. Thanks for all your work on wb.c, @Evelien Zandbergen (WMDE), and good luck on your next adventure. Skybristol (talk) 20:03, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
