Just because the service Wikidata could provide to Wiktionaries is exactly what Omegawiki is doing. I'm not saying to talk about Omegawiki joining WMF but looking at a way to use what volunteers already committed time to develop on Omegawiki on Wikidata implementation for Wiktionaries.

I agree. We also need to include the Omegawiki community.
Why? The question of moving them into the WMF fold was pretty much no, because the project has an overlapping purpose with Wiktionary, and the technology they use cannot be supported with the existing resources available. There was a great deal of community reasoned community opposition.
If they independently want to engage in the process on the Wikidata side without a goal of creating a competing Wikimedia project, that is one thing... but bringing them to the table as equals sets bad precedent for sister projects, contributor retention, community support, etc.
