- Added title normalization
- Edits in the repo now have a comment added in the history entry
- Sent proposal about interwiki table in MediaWiki core: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-June/061069.html
- Finalized implementation of user interface for editing and adding aliases
- Started review of Wikidata branch with Tim Starling
- Untangled Wikibase Libs from Wikibase Repo code (removed cross-dependencies)
- Refactored ItemView
