Hello all,
Being able to use data from Wikidata in semantic wikis would be really cool
and open up a lot of possibilities.
We'd like to make this a reality and are looking both for feedback on our
initial idea and for funding.

For those not familiar with Semantic MediaWiki, a very short and simplified
summary: Semantic MediaWiki was created by Denny and Markus (and several
contributors) and is the precursor software to Wikidata. While it was not a
good fit for Wikipedia itself, it gained a lot of popularity outside of
Wikimedia, and is used by many companies and organizations for managing
structured data. Later on a dedicated software for the Wikipedia/Wikimedia
usecase was created: Wikibase. Hence creating a connection between the two
is very fitting.
Cheers
