The README should list the major differences between WBI and WDI

[not-my-profile]

Currently the WikibaseIntegrator / WikidataIntegrator section just refers the reader to the release notes ... however looking at them, these are all mostly minor details such as:

• Create auto-assign-issue.yaml
• Rename .yml to .yaml
• Update README.md
• Fix codespell errors

I am not even sure why any of these are listed in the release notes since such minor changes are not relevant/interesting to library users.

You have forked a library ... there are now two very similar looking libraries (if you're unfamiliar with either of them), so I think you should really describe the major differences/improvements in the README to clarify the situation.

I think that is a valid point. Have you found any differences? Back when I selected it and started contributing I liked that it got lexeme support.

I have contributed ideas and the interface is now much more to my liking.

Perhaps it is better documented also?

WDI was/is? focused on Wikidata. This functionality is not in WBI but seems very useful when you validating items. 😀

Hello @not-my-profile , Thank you for your comment.

I've updated the README to:

WikibaseIntegrator (wbi) is a fork of WikidataIntegrator (wdi) whose purpose is to focus on an improved compatibility with Wikibase and adding missing functionalities. The main differences between these two libraries are :

• A complete rewrite of the library with an object-oriented architecture allowing for easy interaction, data validation and extended functionality
• Add support for reading and writing Lexeme, MediaInfo and Property datatypes
• Add support for Structured Data on Commons (SDC)
• Python 3.7 to 3.11 suport, validated with unit tests
• Type hints implementation for arguments and return
• Improved login methods (OAuth 2.0, OAuth 1.0a, bot password and login/password)
• Support for additionnal datatypes like EDTF and LocalMedia
• Add logging module support

But WikibaseIntegrator lack to "fastrun" implemented in WikidataIntegrator.

FYI WDI also seems to have implemented EDTF support.
