Heya folks,
We applied to the Knight News Challenge to push Wikidata even further during a second year of development. You can find out more here: http://blog.wikimedia.de/2012/06/25/wikidata-applies-for-the-knight-news-cha... and see our proposal here: http://newschallenge.tumblr.com/post/25575917516/wikidata-as-a-central-free-...
It would be awesome if you could support the proposal by clicking "like" on the proposal page. Keep your fingers crossed ;-)
Cheers Lydia
Congratulations and good luck, Wikidata.
World University and School ( http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University), like Wikipedia with MIT OpenCourseWare, plans on working with Wikidata, if possible, and developing in all 3000-8000 languages and ~ 200 countries, as an open, free, wiki resource for people-to-people teaching and learning. WUaS also plans to offer free, online, interactive Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees in many, many countries and languages, accrediting on MIT OCW in California, to start, for its first matriculating Bachelor's degree class in 2014 at 'The College at World University and School' - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_Sc....
Startup World University and School would be interested in working closely with Wikidata.
All the best, Scott

By the way, I also added the two Wikidata links above to World University and School's 'Wiki,' and 'Fundraising,' wiki, subject pages:
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Wiki
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Fundraising
The two, following, WUaS Data subjects, as they develop, and especially with MIT OCW courses and great universities' open educational resources, are also potentially relevant to this list:
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Data
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Database_Systems
(... all accessible from the 'Subjects' page at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects) .

Great. I assume you are mostly interested in using Wikidata? Then I think for now staying on this list and chiming in on our requests for feedback and so on is a good idea.
