Data model
Wikibase
I propose Wikibase: wikidata.org uses Wikibase -- It goes _much_ faster wikidata.org than directory.fsf.org. (david hedlund)
Wikibase is a triplestore implementation. "Technical support: the data model should allow for adequate representations in existing data formats, e.g., JSON or RDF/OWL" - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel

my evaluation: Iank (talk) 10:40, 18 July 2018 (EDT)
Upsides:
It would give an api to update data. With semantic mediawiki, you have to update entire pages. This would allow better syncing from sources like mozilla and debian.
We could also use it to pull in data from wikidata, but that could also be done without adopting wikibase for our own data.
Downsides: wikipedia's use of it seems to be mostly around linking between languages, and a very small use of the actual data, and where it is used, it's not user friendly, the data magically appears from a template that that has a wikidata reference number and there is no easy way for users to navigate to that data to edit it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikidata
At this point it does not seem high priority to adopt it, but it's got potential if wikipedia creates a better user interface for it.

Resource links
Bendikker has added hundreds (if not thousands) of resource links to various entries. I think we should import them if possible. Here's what he added to Emacs for example
- https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/User_talk:Bendikker#Standard_links_I_add_for_GNU_packages
- https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/User_talk:Bendikker#Standard_links_I_add
