Hey Finn :)
>From my side: I am ok with ramping up imports now but please don't go
all crazy. The reason we asked not to do this in the beginning were:
* The community needs to get an understanding of the new domain first
and play around with how to model the data before a large import sets
everything in stone. I think by now this is fine.
* We introduced a completely new part to Wikidata that we didn't want
to potentially bring to its limits right away.
* Wiktionary editors explicitly asked not to import data from
Wiktionary at this point. This is still the case as far as I know.
Anything that's not CC-0 can't be imported.
* The API was bound to change and I didn't want everyone to write bots
and tools just to have to rewrite them a few days later. We still
don't give any guarantees but from my side no massive changes are
planned right now. If you're ok with things potentially changing
that's fine.
Cheers
Lydia
