Are there objections from old-school wiktionarians to the ultimate
wiktionary plans? Is it possible that we could address these objections through code?
I've been an active administrator on Wiktionary for some months now. But only recently subscribed to the mailing list - only just noticing that such a thing exists.
So this discussion of the Ultimate Wiktionary comes as a complete surprise to me.
Which is even more alarming as somewhere in Wiki-.org land there is clearly a policy that all changes etc must be notified and approved through the web site. The mailing list is only an ancillary means of communication.
So I would suggest whoever is managing the idea of change needs to lift their game in keeping the active Wiktionary community informed.

Hi,
I'm really glad I got this mail because I was working on a different concept for the Maltese wiktionary.
http://mt.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:New_Dictionary_Structure
I was of the opinion that the wikidata concept had been abandoned.
Has the contract alrready been given? The Institute for Linguistic Data Processing at the University of Cologne desiged a Dictionary Schema for a Tamino Database which is based on the EAGLES standard and would be willing to donate the schema to the project on the basis of Credit i.e. citation in the documentation. It still has to be expanded for non-european Languages and we thought maltese would be the ideal gentle move into that complexity.

Yes, indeed.
Don't worry -- nothing radical is going to happen too quickly -- but Gerard has managed to secure funding from Kennisnet (Dutch educational consortium) for programming for WikiData. I'm not fully informed on the details of this, but I think that it should be fairly easy to get strong community input on features needed most badly.
The goal here should be to make everything better for everyone. There should be no thought of doing away with free form wiki text for detailed explanations of etymology, meaning, etc. That's a wonderful thing. At the same time, there should be _easy_ support for structured querying and automatic international linking per Gerard's usual explanations of this stuff.
