Wikitechians,
It's exciting that the Hungarian Wikipedia folks will be first to
deploy in Wikidata, and the Italian Wikipedia people may be the 2nd!
What's the deployment plan, for languages 10 through 285 (number of
Wikipedia languages) through 7,358 (per "The Ethnologue"),
particularly in terms of developing community email lists (graduate
students?)
Is there a Meta Wiki deployment page for all languages, paralleling
this -
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/Deployment?
What's the current state of email lists / wiki pages for all of
Wikipedia's 285 language communities?
(Wikipedia is now in 285 languages, as of August 2012 -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Wikipedia).
In this deployment process, would a 7,358 language-deep, universal
translator, or security questions, in TOR, for example, as part of
Wikipedia, influence deployment in any heretofore unforeseen ways?
World University and School is planning for all 3000-8000 languages,
each as a wiki page to begin:
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages. WUaS is like
Wikipedia with MIT OCW, with free, online degrees planned.
World University and School also plans to deploy in Wikidata, and in
all 3,000-8,000 languages, each a wiki, subject page / school, to
begin. WUaS bases this range on "The Ethnologue" -
http://www.ethnologue.com/ - which now says they have 6,909 languages,
whereas Wikipedia says they have 7,358 languages -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnologue. WUaS also plans to facilitate
the development of an universal translator -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator -
building on Google Translate and others.
So many languages, and as wikis, is wondrous ... :)
Hungarian and Italian Wikipedia rock!
Cheers,
Scott / Aphilo

As I wrote earlier, this is an enthusiastic community. So huwiki is looking
forward to test Wikidata. :-) Let's do it!
That is really great news. Thank you! I'll keep you posted as soon as
we have more news about the next steps and dates.
Cheers
