We are having some discussions about maybe going for he.wp as a second language, but as far as I know the discussion has not happened there yet. I would prefer he.wp over it.wp as a second test Wikipedia at the current moment as it is an RTL wiki and allows us to test for a wider spectrum of possible errors.

We were speaking about it with Lydia yesterday, and actually I'd give you some reasons to prefer he.wiki to our version, exactly because of the RTL issue.
Anyway, our goal is to help you all in developing Wikidata. Of course, we'd love to be the second project and it would be a honour for us all, but the final decision is still up to you. :)
More, even if we will not help you with the interlink testing, we're plenty of datas (especially in the biographies field) to "donate", so we'll find a way, don't worry. ;)
And I forgot to add: many, many thanks for organizing and holding the discussion on the it.wp! This is extremely appreciated.
