Hoi, WikiData is already in the MediaWiki SVN. http://wiktionaryz.org is life, over 50.000 records have already been added by it's community.
Wikipedia-l is about all things wikipedia. There are loads of people who do not subscribe to it because it is not the only game in town.
Thanks, GerardM

I agree that WikiData is a good idea, but what will it take for the developers to implement this? Are wikitech-l subscribers subscribed to wikipedia-l as well?

When anybody says we "have to" introduce completely new markup or we "have to" wait for Wikidata to be implemented, then I know it's just an excuse for doing nothing.
Hoi, Based on what ? WiktionaryZ is developing nicely, it is based on Wikidata. Versioning is expected to make it's first apearance (Erik willing) this week. This hardly qualifies as nothing happening. As to Wikiauthors, there has been some deep thinking about what it needs to do by people who met IRL and the chances of something happening in this space is better than 89%.
Suppose you define a way to identify a pre-defined reference, .....
For me there is little reason to suppose anything... Wikidata rocks.
