I too support the creation of Wikidata. Unfortunately, in the global decline of Wikimedia
participation, even the Foundation is unable to help ignite a new valuable project that is
desperately needed in order to bring in some new participation... sad situation. I wonder
what the 50+ Foundation staffers are working on, if they are not able to help out little
bit with such and important idea...

Agree. Starting using SMW for a brand new project for data
could solve all the issues that prevented it
to be used until now? Hope it could.
it would be extremely helpful for project like Commons and Wikisource
(just talking about data now)
Aubrey.
SMW would have to be completely redesigned for use in a project with
millions of pages and millions of attributes where arbitrary queries are
possible.
What limitations would be useful to get the project off the ground?
Some ideas:
The data project is initially only used/queried by Wikipedia projects,
and then cached on the Wikipedia side
The data project is initially limited to only geographic entities.
