Wikibase Community User Group/Reports/2021

In 2021 the Wikibase Community User Group elected a new primary contact and drew together seven hours of programming from its members and third-parties for WikidataCon 2021, while continuing its primary activity of supporting Wikibase users through 📧 its mailing list and 💬 Telegram - the most active venue of discussion outside of meetings.

Monthly online meetings took place throughout most of the year - see the linked notes for details of discussions. No project or other grants were solicited from WMF for the activities of the group.
