Hoi, If you care to a long time ago in the days when Wikidata was years in the future, I have created a proof of concept based on the OmegaWiki technology. It demonstrated how multilingual support would improve the usability of Commons.
Wikidata is a different beast but not so different that the lessons learnt are not relevant.
In the meantime it is a really bad idea to wish Wikidata away and wish away the existing experience and vision. Working case studies have been produced and thinking has to become current. So pull up your socks and start experiencing into Wikidata. Thanks, GerardM
PS you will find that I blogged about it somewhere...

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.
Cool, I look forward to hearing about it at Wikimania and reflecting on a committed plan with dates and outcomes defined from the end user perspective. Hopefully some of the outcomes can be implemented on Commons in late 2014 rather than in 2015.
In the meantime, it might be an idea for folks to avoid claiming that any issue that pops up on Commons can be solved in Wikidata, unless they can produce a working case study rather than discussion about proposals.
