Yes, this seems nice. However, I have two points:
1. Will the current structure of the item pages on Wikidata be changed
to separate Wikipedia from Wikivoyage?
2. Will Wikipedia immediately get access to the Wikivoyage links?
Thanks.

Subject: [Wikidata-tech] Wikitravel deployment plan
Hey all,
as discussed yesterday in the call, here is our current plan for deploying
interwikilinks to Wikivoyage. If there are no complaints from your side by
Tuesday, we will share this plan with the Wikivoyage communities and the
Wikidata community on Wednesday.
Wed, July 17th: Branching Wikibase 1.22-wmf12
Thu, July 18th: Deploying wmf12 to the test systems and setting up
configurations for Wikivoyage on test. This means, the Test Wikidata can accept
links to Wikivoyage sites.
Mon, July 22nd: Deploying wmf12 to wikidata.org and setting the configuration
to accept Wikivoyage links as well.
Thu, July, 25th: Deploying wmf12 client to all Wikivoyage.org language
editions. From this moment on, Wikivoyage can access interwiki links from
Wikidata, and does not need to have them locally anymore.
Notes:
* Wikivoyage will only get access to the interwikis for now, not to other data
in Wikidata. This is planned for later, but we just want to go step by step
(i.e. only "phase 1")
* Wikipedia will not automatically and suddenly display links to Wikivoyage.
The behavior on Wikipedia actually remains completely unchanged by this
deployment.
* Wikivoyage will not automatically get links to Wikipedia and display them
(currently called "Related sites"). This is also left for later.
* Further sister projects are planned for later, depending how smoothly this
deployment goes.
* There is no need for an additional item for e.g. New York for Wikivoyage, but
rather the links to Wikivoyage can be entered in the same item that also holds
the links to Wikipedia.
Cheers,
Denny
P.S.: Ken, you might consider joining the Wikidata tech list. This is where we
send the agenda for the Thursday calls around.
