I'm curious whether this new project has been driven in any way by the difficulty of integrating data from Wikidata into Wikipedia. It various a lot by language, but the user communities are quite hostile to Wikidata in some cases. I think it's generally on the grounds that since Wikidata is a wiki, it can be easily vandalized and its data can't be trusted.
