Hoi,
WikiData is already in the MediaWiki SVN.
http://wiktionaryz.org is
life, over 50.000 records have already been added by it's community.
Wikipedia-l is about all things wikipedia. There are loads of people who
do not subscribe to it because it is not the only game in town.
Thanks,
GerardM

take for the
developers to implement this? Are wikitech-l subscribers subscribed to
wikipedia-l as well?
