 Can the link be forwarded now or should I await some formal anouncement?

 Hi all,

 Wikimedia Germany is sending out a press release about Wikidata today.
 The press release sums up the information that has been published on Meta
 since last Wikimania, where it has been first presented, and discussed and
 refined since then, including information about the donation that is making
 Wikidata possible.

 http://www.wikimedia.de/wiki/Pressemitteilungen/PM_3_12_Wikidata_EN

 We are very excited about the Wikidata development team starting on
 Monday. This also means, that in the future we will be communicating about
 Wikidata much more, as the development is finally starting. Yay!

 I want to take this opportunity to thank the donors of Wikidata, the
 Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence ai2, the Gordon and Betty Moore
 Foundation, and Google for the generous support, that enables us to work on
 the Wikidata project for the next year.

 Exciting times are waiting for us, Cheers all,
 Denny

 Hello,
 I am interested in contributing time to the Wikidata project. I'm CTO for a
 consulting company in Ohio (USA), and come from a custom application
 development background. I have a strong background in web applications and
 relational databases, and have been recently working with non-relational
 databases, mobile applications and distributed data tools (ie Hadoop).

 I am relatively new to the semantic web area, but would like to find a way
 to help with the project. It would seem logical to try to help with coding
 and / or documentation type tasks, but I'm open to suggestions. I read
 through the the project info and FAQs. Per
 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/FAQ#How_can_I_get_involved.3F, I'm
 asking how I can help.

That's awesome, Tim!
Please give me until early next week to get back to you with details.
I need to sort out a few things first. Since the project only starts
for real on Monday I will still need a bit to see where your help
would be used best. If you want you can send me some things you've
worked on here or off-list in the meantime.


Cheers
Lydia

 Hey,
 I was also looking forward to help. I'm a hobbyist coder (can do minor

Great. I'll put you on my list too then.

Hi,
I am also a hobby coder.  I have always wanted to participate in a wiki
project in some way.  I would appreciate being a part of this group.
Thanks,
