Heya folks :)
So we're finally starting to get real with this sister projects thing. We'll be starting with Wikivoyage since this is comparatively similar to Wikipedia. We'll take it easy at the beginning and just go for the language links between the different language editions of Wikivoyage.
On July 18th we will change test.wikidata.org to be able to store links to Wikivoyage in addition to Wikipedia. You can test it there then and make sure there are no huge issues we have not noticed yet. On July 22 we will enable this on wikidata.org and the Wikivoyages.
Some things to keep in mind: * This is only for links between Wikivoyages for now. More will follow later. * Access to the other data like timezones, airport codes and so on will not be enabled yet. That will follow later as well. * There will be no automatic links to/from Wikipedia for now.
Some specific things about the language links: * It'll no longer be needed to keep them in the wikitext like it is currently. * It'll still be possible to do so however but this will overwrite the links coming from Wikidata. * With the magicword noexternallanglinks links from Wikidata can be turned off on an article either for all languages or only specific ones.
A page on Wikidata has been created where you can find someone to help you in case of issues (http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikivoyage_migration) and as usual I am available to answer any questions you might have.

I took the liberty of adding - with some rewording - your message to the page you linked. This will be helpful for Wikivoyage users who want to understand more.
Question: do you (all) think it is a good idea to translate this page? At least the basic explanations?

I have already posted it to the traveler pubs. Best to translate it there.

Lydia, Luca and Wikidatans,
This is great. I'm excited about this Wikivoyage migration - http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikivoyage_migration - for World University and School, as well, if WUaS may be - see: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects.
I'm including Robert S in this email, in Pennsylvania, who has expressed interest in helping to develop WUaS in Wikidata, in a previous Wikidata email.
WUaS is seeking high school applicants (12th graders in English) this autumn 2013 to matriculate for online, MIT OCW-centric, Creative Commons' licensed (so free), university degrees at WUaS in autumn 2014 - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Admissions_at_World_University_and_Sch... .
WUaS received the 'green light' from the state of California to begin accrediting on MIT OCW in video - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/ - in English, and then in many languages and countries.
Cheers, Scott

A slight change in the details!
The deployment enabling wikidata on the wikivoyages will likely happen on the 23rd July rather than the 22nd!
