I just look at

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,
