Hoi,
Obviously you forgot about OmegaWiki. It can still do things Wikidata is
incapable of.
I will never forget OmegaWiki. It has a firm place in the history of
Wikidata. Experiences with OmegaWiki have directly influenced Wikidata
through our conversations with Erik. At the very least, OmegaWiki was
the first project using the name "Wikidata" for a Wikimedia-related
project/software (this part of the history is somewhat hard to discover
right now since it was mainly discussed in late 2004-2006; the historic
page is at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Archive/Wikidata/historical).
Anyway, our discussion was about the role of RDF, not about a
comprehensive history of Wikidata. Nevertheless, be assured that if
anybody would contest the contributions of OmegaWiki, I will react in a
similar fashion.
