likely to be volunteer effort available for its continuation before
spending time effort and money on reconstituting it as a WMF project.

IMO this is something we should absorb into the WMF family of sites. Should

​I see you predict the future. Anyway, I assume the people on this list
are often the kind of people who would want to squirel away their own

Hoi,
It is not going to be absorbed in Wikidata. We did not even do that for
Freebase to my regret.
