Wikidata:WikiProject COVID-19/Status updates/Wikimedia Hackathon 2020
This is the special status update for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2020!
Here we will gather the things going on at the hackathon that are especially relevant for the WikiProject COVID-19 on Wikidata.
That includes things directly related to the project, of course, such as the en:Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Symposium_on_Wikipedia_and_COVID-19 Symposium on Wikipedia and COVID-19, but also projects that are being developed that could be implemented in the context of this page.
The model is to have open update sections twice a day.
