Re: About this mailing list, was: Re: Two use cases for Wiktionary RDF

Hi Sébastien,
you might mean the wiki data project by WikiMedia :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_Wikidata

For Wikipedia Infoboxes the Wikidata tool will be great.
But almost all data in Wiktionary is structured. So I am not sure if 
this can be completely migrated...
