Definitely agree that we needed something like this. There's a lot of confusion about what Wikidata is for, and what is and isn't appropriate for it - both from outsiders and from within the Wikimedia community. I've seen vague "it's data, it'll go on Wikidata" a few times, which is a bit like saying "it's text, it'll go on Wikipedia" ;-)

Actually during the Hackathon somebody said: "We need a new project... a sort of Wiki...Data...Source?" :D And it is great that you make the analogy of Wikipedia-and-Text because when you think about it, Wikipedia went through exactly the same process until "Project Sourceberg" was characterized ;-)
