If a database system is called for, Wikidata is the ticket. As databases 
are projects in their own right, there should be a positive nod from the 
board before we implement these. At the moment we do not have Wikidata 
and two projects with a need for the functionality (Wiktionary and 
Wikispecies). Obviously if you want to make a project for a Bibliography 
system you need people to work on this.
