[Data-modeling] State of the commons - summary/conclusions

[Iain Sproat]

Regarding tasks on freebase, I see there is a
/dataworld/data_task<http://www.freebase.com/view/dataworld/data_task>
already,
but it seems to have been out of use since 2007.There's also a
/dataworld/type_project<http://www.freebase.com/type/schema/dataworld/type_project>but
that doesn't seem to have been used at all.

I would imagine that JIRA (bugs.freebase.com) would have superseded staff's
need for these types - but would we be able to resurrect them for community
tasks?
