Hi all! Generally, topics about structuring the wiktionary information are important to all the people needing free/open dictionary resources.
I have read somewhere there is an initiative to specify a new wiktionary database containing all languages (allowing easier handling of translations) and structured data, but I cannot find the reference anymore.
