[Wikidata-l] datawikis?

[JFC Morfin]

Dear Kinsely,

It seems we all say roughly the same thing from differents points of 
view or even data cultures - our objective being not to make our 
personal culture prevail but to be able to converge in feeding 
wikidata with reliable, IP protected, referential data.

I read and I certainly understand what you say, "at web scale" and 
"at data level".

1 - I see that we "will just do not do" in a single project all the 
things people (including me) are interested in (cf. Denny's position 
regarding my own needs).
2 - I certainly want to stay interoperable at data level, but I think 
"at netwok scale" and I do not wish to give networking architectural 
responsibilities to user applications.

This is why I try to find an architectural minimum where we could 
converge, and also address the authorititative operational issues in 
a sustainable manner.
