It is rather clear that everyone wants Wikidata to also
support Wiktionary, and there have been plenty of proposals in
the last few years. I think that the latest proposals are
sufficiently similar to go for the next step: a break down of
the tasks needed to get this done.
Currently, the idea of having Wikidata supporting
Wiktionary is stalled because it is regarded as a large
monolithic task, and as such it is hard to plan and commit to.
I tried to come up with a task break-down, and discussed it
with Lydia and Daniel, and now, as said in the last office
hour, here it is for discussion and community input.

I think it would be really awesome if we would start moving
in this direction. Wiktionary supported by Wikidata could
quickly become one of the crucial pieces of infrastructure for
the Web as a whole, but in particular for Wikipedia and its
future development.
