Hi Denny,
I would strongly advise against connecting Wiktionary to Wikidata in the
status quo, mainly for the reasons Gerard summarized.
While wikt's 'data model' probably makes sense for a spelling-based
dictionary, it does not for a concept-based knowledge base like ours.
Even turning Wiktionary into an OmegaWiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OmegaWiki>-like project seems unlikely
feasible without an intermediate step.
Let's focus on Commons, OpenStreetMap, queries, arbitrary access, new
datatypes?

It is rather clear that everyone wants Wikidata to also support
Wiktionary, and there have been plenty of proposals in the last few
years. I think that the latest proposals are sufficiently similar to
go for the next step: a break down of the tasks needed to get this done.
Currently, the idea of having Wikidata supporting Wiktionary is
stalled because it is regarded as a large monolithic task, and as such
it is hard to plan and commit to. I tried to come up with a task
break-down, and discussed it with Lydia and Daniel, and now, as said
in the last office hour, here it is for discussion and community input.

I think it would be really awesome if we would start moving in this
direction. Wiktionary supported by Wikidata could quickly become one
of the crucial pieces of infrastructure for the Web as a whole, but in
particular for Wikipedia and its future development.
Cheers,
Denny
