that would be great! On top of my wish list are the Wiktionaries, since most of the entities needed to use Wikidata for descriptive knowledge are provided only on summary pages (dozens of terms in one page) on Wikipedias, whereas the Wiktionaries define them as pages. And I believe it will strengthen Wikidata if it can be open to open data initiatives outside of the Wikimedia Foundation. Clearly there needs to be control which initiatives are accepted as valid authoritative sources of identifiers, but I wonder whether the interwiki list is not already a good mechanism for this? If the interwiki list could be supplemented with a generic definition how to make an ajax-identifier lookup call, to present the user a picklist, this could be a huge long-term benefit (i.e. it could be used by Wikidata, but also in any Wikipedia when using a more powerful visual editor).
