Wikinews phase 1 (sitelinks) have just had a date announced by myself over on project chat <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Wikinews_Sitelinks_.28Phase_1.29>. The expected data is August 19th, just after Wikimania :)

The Wikinews page could do with some co-ordination from the Wikidata community and the Wikinews community, so please do participate and propose ideas!
