I'm currently working on the Wikidata project to include Lua functions for templates that access Wikidata entities.
I've toyed around a bit and extended LuaCommon.php with a getEntities function and a wikibase table to hold that function. Now I wonder if there are any plans for Lua extensions outside the mw.* namespace.
I'm wondering if some of the specialized functionality can be avoided by fetching JSON data from wikibase / wikidata through a web API. This would be more versatile, and could be used by alternative templating systems.
