this is a message based on a conversation about revamping the wiktionary service so that it contained more structured data. In it's current form it is a Wiki about words. This does not allow for easy connections to be made between Thesarus words, translations, etc.
Hopefully, with some help, brainstorming, and experience we can hammer out a better system to store, look-up, and access dictionary words.
I've got loads of ideas about how to implement some of this, but others know more about how to include rollbacks, versioning, and deletion, of material.
If people are interested in can post some more indepth ideas about what (i think) would need to be built and get some feedback about planning for other languages, special cases, migration, and future additions.
