Hi everyone,
I'm happy to let you know that Yandex, an internet company from
Russia, made a donation of 150000 Euro to Wikimedia Deutschland for
further development of the core of Wikidata. It's great to see more
companies stepping up in not only using Wikidata but actively
supporting its development.
The official press release is at

Wow! I hope in the future they're also interested in collaborating on an
open source translation memory project: we already use their machine
translation service in Translate (enabled on
translatewiki.net but not
Wikimedia projects).
