Great news! I have been using its predecessor on http://wdqs-beta.wmflabs.org/ for some time now, and can only say that I am quite enthusiastic. Is query.wikidata.org a continuation of the wdqs on wmf labs? I really like how the wdqs is working quite well as an interface to R through its SPARQL plugin or in federated queries submitted from external SPARQL endpoints!
Thanks for the good work.
