Hi all,

Wikimedia would be a starting new project "WikiData". Details here[1] . I am particularly excited about how the interwiki data and "API"  is made available and hope it would be immense use to all Indic languages, many possibilities of mashups, data extractions might be easier with the infrastructure. Sundar's idea to target Indic users using interwiki metadata, apps like interwikiredirector[2], can benefit significantly out of this. We shall look forward to hear more details on the project and wish all the success both technically, community wise.
