I just look at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Wiktionary_data_design to me it seem as if this project is talking about different database structuer? Is this true? Could this be teh first time a mediawiki project have a different db structuer?
Yes; this is a project which doesn't exist yet, and will use an as-yet-uncreated version of the software. It's not yet clear (to me, anyway) to what extent "Wikidata" will be incorporated into MediaWiki, or if it will end up as a kind of "fork". Depends how much the new features interfere with the old ones, I guess...
Hoi, The first code has been committed to CVS :) . Wikidata is very much part of Mediawiki and it would be no good if it did not integrate with what is already there. How do you decide that a project that has been worked on for over a year does not exist ? I am really happy that their is finally some concrete "evidence" of all the prepatory work that has been done. As so often before, I would ask people to have a look at the data design of Ultimate Wiktionary; http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Wiktionary_data_design . I am very happy to be able to ask you to follow the developments in CVS as well.
Thanks, GerardM
