And I forgot to add: many, many thanks for organizing and holding the discussion on the it.wp! This is extremely appreciated. Once we go to Phase II testing we certainly will keep that in mind!
You people are awesome!
Cheers, Denny

Ciao Sannita, Nickanc,
I am very happy to see the enthusiasm in the communities for Wikidata! Let's hope this keeps up even if we break a thing or two on the way... (we are trying hard not to, I promise).
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.
If he.wp does not happen, I think it.wp would make a great second project due to its size (several times more articles than hu.wp) and especially due to the high amount of activity and active editors there.
Whatever happens -- my assumption is that once we go to the second Wikipedia for testing, it won't take long to be available to all Wikipedias, and thus this hopefully is just a difference in days or weeks.
Cheers, Denny

Hi there, I'm Sannita, sysop and long-time user of it.wp.
We already spoke on IRC with Lydia, and the discussion at the Village Pump is ongoing here: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Inizio_dei_test_di_Wi...
Generally, we're very favourable to Wikidata - some of us are eagerly waiting for its official launch - so it will be great for us to be an early testing project.

Ciao italiani, Hello Wikidatans,
sounds very interesting. I met some guys from Wikimedia Italia and think that those are interesting persons having great ideas. My mother tongue is German but living near Brenner (about 47° north, 11° east) I know also a little Italian.
After reading about the Hungarian Wikipedia being the first test wikipedia, my first idea was, why shouldn't I ask at the Wikimedia Italia's mailing list if they would like. Due to my too little experience in Italian, I didn't do that already so I'm glad that you're asking.
Please do not understand it wrong: I'm still not a member of Wikimedia Italia and did not write anything on the Italian Wikimedia. I only think that the people behind it are mostly young, very dynamic and have great ideas.
Regards, Tanti saluti anche a Wikimedia Italia,
Marco
