Wikimedia funds enhancements to ProveIt

The Wikimedia Foundation has awarded a grant to Felipe Schenone to make improvements to ProveIt.

Dr. Luther led the team that developed ProveIt when he was at Georgia Tech. ProveIt is a Wikipedia gadget that provides a friendly user interface for managing references in Wikipedia articles. The gadget has since been integrated into the English-language Wikipedia and has over 7,000 active users. This work was also demoed at the WikiSym conference in 2009.
