I'm not too familiar with Wikidata but, like Pjotr and Amirouche,
think it's a worthwile idea to explore and discuss!

Something to seriously consider here are the FSDG. Where do we
draw the line between ‘external content’ (as we presumably treat
home pages, which currently contain everything from proprietary
software recommendations to #TeamWhite race war progaganda) and
Guix when such WD/WP data is presented inside our UI?
The FSD[0] comes to mind. Coincidentally, a new mail was just
posted to the directory-discuss list about Wikidata. It should be
enlightening to read the responses, if any.
I also assume that we'll be keeping our current set of
metadata. The requirement for a full-blown Internet connection
just to explore (not install) packages would be a regression.
Kind regards,
T G-R
