Hell yeah.
Thanks Lydia.
I'm *really* excited about this.
Please thank the Wikidata team for me :-)

A good example: Treasure Island from Roberl Luis Stevenson
We have the "work" here:
Treasure Island
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q185118
in the item, we have a property called "edition", which links to 2
different items:
* Treasure Island (1883, Cassell & Company)
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14944007
* Treasure Island (1911, Charles Scribner's Sons)
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14944010
I would say that this is a good model: we have the item for the first
edition too, for books that important.
For the majority of books (those who don't have important translations or
different editions), "work" and "edition" level could be merged in the
same, unique item.
Of course, wiki-style: if you want a different item, you just create it.
The basic level is a single item.
What do you say?
Do we agree on this?

I've already made my remarks on

but your help to make this post less Wikipedia-oncentric would be welcome =)

Hi all,
We have prepared a guest blog post for EFF about how Wikipedia relies on
the public domain:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Drafts/Wikipedia_Shows_the_V…
The final post will be published on January 14 as part of a copyright
activism week that EFF and other organizations are doing next week. You
can find more information below about the different themes for the week.
It’s a great opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of the public
domain, so I'd love to get your input on the draft.
Thanks,
Yana

Monday Jan 13 - Transparency:
Copyright policy must be set through a participatory, democratic and
transparent process. It should never be decided through back room deals
or secret international agreements.
Tuesday Jan 14 - Building and Defending a Robust Public Domain:
The public domain is our cultural commons and a public trust. Copyright
policy should seek to promote, and never diminish, this crucial resource.
Wednesday Jan 15 - Open Access: The results of publicly funded research
should be made freely available to the public online, to be fully used
by anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Thursday Jan 16 - You Bought it, You Own It: Copyright policy should
foster the freedom to truly own your stuff: to tinker with it, repair
it, reuse it, recycle it, read or watch or launch it on any device, lend
it, and then give it away (or re-sell it) when you're done.
Friday Jan 17 - Fair Use Rights:
For copyright to achieve its purpose of encouraging creativity and
innovation, it must preserve and promote ample breathing space for
unexpected and innovative uses.
Saturday Jan 18 - Getting Copyright Right:
A free and open Internet is essential infrastructure, fostering speech,
activism, new creativity and new business models for artists, authors,
musicians and other creators. It must never be sacrificed in the name of
copyright enforcement.

We can now test the addition of links to Wikisource in test.wikidata.org in preparation for next week deployment.

Hi guys, happy new year :-)
2014 will be a great year for Wikisource,
especially as it begins so well: in 1 week Wikidata will begin phase 1 for
Wikisource, so we need to help their stuff solving all the issues.
Can you take a look at this page?
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Wikisource
Please notify all that could be interested.
