From the beginning one of the purposes of the

I consider Wikisource as superfluous. We should join forces with the
"Project Gutenberg" (that's what I do).
Please, re-read this thread. Author pages are not good enough. We need
a database system that you can query with well define protocols like
[[de:Z39.50]]
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.
Thanks,
