a batch upload, without it being considered highly experimental. I
think it's already too late to do anything meaningful to bring
Wikidata to Commons in 2014, as I don't even see a community agreed
plan being presented at Wikimania rather than more of the same
promotional and hypothetical presentations about what Wikidata might
be able to do; if I have missed a plan with committed dates, perhaps
someone could provide a link in this thread.
I understand you've not seen much until now. But look at it from the
other side. Over the last two years we've created the base with
Wikidata. Over the next year we'll be expanding it to Commons. There
is still a lot of groundwork to do over the next months for us before
you can see something visible. But the point is you will.
Over the next week the Wikidata and the Multimedia team will publish
more plans. What is published so far has already been linked in this
thread by David.
