Let's revive this thread for this week's ArchCom RFC meeting.

We have had some good feedback for the new shared tabular data feature, and we are getting ready to deploy it in production. It would be amazing if you can give it a final look-over to see if there are any blockers left.
The first stage will be to enable Data:*.tab pages on Commons, and allow all other wikis direct access to it via Lua code and Graph extension. All data at this point must be licensed under CC0. More licensing options are still under discussion, and can be easily added later.
In line with the "release early, release often", we will not have any elaborate data editing interface beyond the raw JSON code editor for the first release. Our initial target audience is the more experienced users who will evaluate and test the new technology. Once the underlying tech is stable and prooven, we will work on making it more accessible to the general audience.
