Task 1 as described on the proposal page isn't completely clear on how it would work. Would the generated "items" have Q-ids? Would it be possible to link Wiktionary entries to non-Wiktionary pages in the very rare situations that make sense (articles on particular series of (not-language-associated) symbols/characters)?

Regardless, I think that doing Task 1 is a very worthwhile idea. The rest of the tasks, however, should probably wait until much later.

Hey folks :)

You're absolutely right that we need to focus on a few other things
first (UI redesign, units, queries, arbitrary access, data quality
tools incl watchlist improvements). However we also need to look into
the future. Wiktionary support needs a lot of input to make sure we're
doing the right thing. And it's good to give that time. So please do
read the latest proposal Denny posted. It even has some mockups to
make it easier to understand what it'd look like in practice. If we
can get rough consensus that this is the way forward things will fall
into place. And we'll not abandon the things I mentioned that are
right now more important.

Cheers
Lydia
