As of now, we write templates and we put data into them, article by article - but this is going to change during 2013, with the implementation of Wikidata, since we'll put data in the common repo and then just call them on local projects.
Is this new prog language going to affect this? I mean, will it help us to write new templates which will call those data more easily?
I believe that some members of the Wikidata team are interested in allowing Lua modules to fetch data directly from Wikidata. We have added a couple of hooks to Scribunto to support this, but the library hasn't been designed or implemented yet, as far as I can tell.
