First of all the priority lies on data already present on Wikipedia. Wikidata should not be a data storage for everything structured in the world, so we should first start to transfer data already present on Wikipedia to Wikidata.
External data-sources will be interested as well and for sure but the purpose of wikidata is still cenralizing of what we already have.
For the time being (i.e. until mid-2013), I assume.
