Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Wikimedia Germany is sending out a press release about Wikidata today. The press release sums up the information that has been published on Meta since last Wikimania, where it has been first presented, and discussed and refined since then, including information about the donation that is making Wikidata possible.</div>
