Although I'm sure they will establish
sub-communities on the new wiki
like they did on Commons. E.g. German speakers meet at the Forum
(<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Forum>) instead of the
Village pump. That will happen on a datawiki too and probably these
subcommunities will focus on their respective regions, e.g. German
speakers will focus on maintaining the town data for places in Germany,
Austria, Switzerland etc.
I do like this idea very much indeed. What will it take in software
terms? Something similar to Freebase? Something like Freebase bolted
onto MediaWiki? OmegaWiki?
I thought transwiki template transclusion is being
worked on?

If what I proposed is planned to be part of transwiki template
transclusion and if transwiki template transclusion is "real soon now"
in the literal sense and not "real soon now" in the extended sense, than
I'm happy and satisfied ;-) Is there a roadmap for transwiki template
transclusion and is it decided that at the end of this roadmap transwiki
template transclusion will go live on the Wikimedia projects?
Additional question: My idea involves calling a local template from
within the transwikied template to do the localisation. Will that be
possible with transwiki template transclusion?
