The pdf mentions 4 new entity types: Lexeme, Statement, Form, Embedded
(?). Curious, was the existing data model not flexible enough?
Will these new entities be restricted to the usage in a lexicographical
context, i.e. Wiktionary? How will they fit into the existing data
model, will there be links from existing Wikidata items to the new
entities? (i.e. how will Wikidata benefit from the new data?)

Making contributing to Wiktionary easier will be a huge help. Right now
the learning curve is extremely steep, and turning away potential
contributors.
One thing to keep in mind is that Wiktionary is more than just the
content in the page namespace. A big part of what you see is actually
generated dynamically, for example transliteration, pronunciation and
grammatical forms (conjugations, plurals etc).
I imagine in an integrated Wikidata/Wiktionary world "content" and code
lives in various places, and we'll have a range of automated processes
to copy things back and forth, and to automatically create new entries
derived from existing ones?
