Just a stupid question....just popped in my mind...

Wikidata is a new project... does the community supports this ?

Hoi, Wikidata is in essence a building block. It enables things, the building of Wikidata will allow us the functionality of a proper wiktionary or a poper wikispecies. In itself it is not a project. To me, having the ability for hosting relational data is seperate from having yet another set of relational data. The decision of hosting a set of data is what makes a project. As far as I am aware and as far as I am concerned this is what needs community support and board approval. Hosting wiktionary and wikispecies data are things that we are committed to.

Thanks, GerardM

Hoi,

I am very happy to announce that Kennisnet is willing to underwrite/pay for the creation of wikidata and the ultimate wiktionary. This will allow us to host relational data within a Mediawiki environment. Wikidata will particularly enhance projects like Wikispecies and Wiktionary where a lot of the relevant data is relational in nature. The details of this project can be found here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/RfP_Wikidata_and_Ultimate_Wiktionary

Thanks, :) GerardM
