Hi Denny, as Nemo pointed out, that grant is for Wikisource :-) http://meta.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Grants:IEG/Elaborate_** Wikisource_strategic_visionhttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Elaborate_Wikisource_strategic_vision

We spoke about that briefly in the Office hours: one of the main thing Wikidata could do, I think, is to centralize cross-wiki links, the very same way it centralized interlinks. I don't know how difficult could it be, but I sense this would be a breakthrough for all sister projects. We could review the Sister template, and make cross-wiki navigation much more easy and useful.

There is currently a number of things going on re the future of

Wiktionary.

There is, for example, the suggestion to adopt OmegaWiki, which could potentially complicate a Wikibase-Solution in the future (but then again, structured data is often rather easy to transform): <http://meta.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Requests_for_comment/**Adopt_OmegaWikihttp://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Adopt_OmegaWiki

There is this grant proposal for elaborating the future of Wiktionary, which I consider a potentially smarter first step:

That's Wikisource. :)

There's this discussion on Wikdiata itself:

<https://www.wikidata.org/**wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionaryhttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wiktionary

...

And I know that Daniel K. is very interested in working into this direction.

Personally, I regard Wiktionary as the third priority, following Wikipedia and Commons. A lot of the other projects -- like Wikivoyage or Wikisource -- can be served with only small changes to Wikidata as it is, but both Commons and Wiktionary would require a bit of thought (and here again, Commons much less than Wiktionary).

Actually Wikiquote and Wikivoyage use interwikis exactly like Wikipedia; Commons in the same way except it's interproject; Wiktionary in the same way except it's case-sensitive and not about concepts (opr about a stricter definition of concept); Wikisource in a completely different way; Wikibooks, Wikinews and Wikiversity I'm not sure. As for phase II, it's another story. Wikisource and Commons would benefit a lot from it; for Wiktionary it could be a revolution; for Wikispecies idem but with less effort (?); Wikiquote would become

I would appreciate a discussion with

...

the Wiktionary-Communities, and also to make them more aware of the OmegaWiki proposal, the potential of Wikidata for Wiktionary, etc. Just to give a comparison: it took a few months to write the original Wikidata proposal, and it was up for discussion for several months before it was decided and acted upon. I would strongly advise to again choose slow and careful planning over hastened decisions.

It's impossible to plan or discuss anything without knowing what matters.
