Wikidatans,
It's exciting that the Hungarian Wikipedia folks will be first to deploy in Wikidata - congratulations!
World University and School also plans to deploy in Wikidata, and in all 3,000-8,000 languages, each a wiki, subject page / school, to begin. WUaS bases this range on "The Ethnologue" - http://www.ethnologue.com/ - which now says they have 6,909 languages, whereas Wikipedia says they have 7,358 languages - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnologue. WUaS also plans to facilitate the development of an universal translator - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator - building on Google Translate and others.
Wikipedia is now in 285 languages, as of August 2012 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Wikipedia.
Hungarian Wikipedia rocks!
Cheers, Scott

Heya folks
This hasn't made it to this list yet sorry. The Hungarian Wikipedia community has stepped up to be the first one to use Wikidata in production once we're ready to deploy the code. They rock :D We're keeping track of the deployment plans here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/Deployment
Cheers Lydia

Just to keep everyone updated: We have discussed this here at Wikimania together with a few of the admins of the Hungarian Wikipedia. Things are looking good and the next step is to take this to the Hungarian Wikipedia to figure out if the community is ok with this and then go for it if approved.
The poll is here:
http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Kocsmafal_%28m%C5%B1szaki%29#Tes... Result: after some explanations we have 26 supporters in addition to 3 initiators/starters, and no opposers. (22 of them in the first 24 hours.) As I wrote earlier, this is an enthusiastic community. So huwiki is looking forward to test Wikidata. :-) Let's do it!
