Dear SMW users & developers,

many of you are already aware of the Wikidata project [1] -- a major 
effort to establish a platform for editing and sharing data among all 
Wikipedia communities. The project will start next Monday, 2 April 2012. 
A few moments ago, the official press release on Wikidata has been 
issued by Wikimedia Germany e.V.:

DATA REVOLUTION FOR WIKIPEDIA
Wikidata will be the first new Wikimedia project since 2006
http://www.wikimedia.de/wiki/Pressemitteilungen/PM_3_12_Wikidata_EN

The technical work will largely be documented online, and there is also 
a mailing list wikidata-l [2] for announcements and discussions that you 
might find interesting.

Exciting times.

Cheers,

Markus
