an update:
Pablo pointed to*Joan Gomà*, I think *Harel Cain* would also be enthusiastic about DBpedia.
The vote is important as:

The Board of Trustees is the governing authority of the Wikimedia Foundation. Responsibilities of the Board include:

   * determining mission, goals, long-term plans and high level
     policies of WMF and its projects

is the first entry on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2011/en#Roles_and_responsibilities_as_member_of_the_Board

So this board determines how Wikipedia will develop.
Imagine right now: MediaWiki could just implement a simple content negotiation and redirect to dbpedia for the rdf part. DBpedia and Wikipedia Integration solved. So I think we should pick a candidate and promote him via a blog entry or so.
