One thing I really liked about Kasabi was that it had a simple interface
for people to enter queries and share them with people. The "Information
Workbench" from fluidOps does something similar although I never seen it
open to the public. A database of queries also is a great tool for testing
both the code and the documentation, both of the reference and cookbook
kind.
I see no reason why one instance of Blazegraph is having all the fun. With
a good RDF dump, people should be loading Wikidata into all sorts of
triple stores and since Wikidata is not that terribly big at this time,
"alternative" endpoints ought to be cheap and easy to run

Hi Gerard. Blazegraph is the name of the open-source SPARQL engine being
used to provide the Wikidata SPARQL service.
So Blazegraph **is** available to all of us, at
<https://query.wikidata.org/>https://query.wikidata.org/ , via both the
query editor, and the SPARQL API endpoint.
It's convenient to talk describe some issues with the SPARQL service being
"Blazegraph issues", if the issues appear to lie with the query engine.
Other query engines that other people be running might be running might
have other specific issues, eg "Virtuoso issues". But it is Blazegraph
that the Discovery team and Wikidata have decided to go with.
The beauty of SPARQL is that you can use URLs to show query results (and
even query definitions). Ultimately, engine aside, there is massive utility
in openly sharing queries and then determining what might the real problem.
Let's use open standards to work in as open a fashion as is possible.
