There are at least four persons who want to start Polish version of Wiktionary
see: http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Polska_wersja_s%C5%82ownika_Wiktionary

So you see... there's much more than one person asking
for a new incarnation of Wikipedia.

We are looking forward to any new installations of Wikitionary
e.g. pl.wiktionary.org :)

Discussions about the interface/technology suitable to edit dictionaries
in a wiki way are very valuable and necessary
(as far as I know this is the main obstacale that hods back creation of new 
dictionaries) but before new solution pops up our ethnusiasm might  be lost.
Can anybody install a new DB for Polish Wiktionary, please?
We would be very grateful.
Integration of wiktionaries would be a far future.
We've got a lot of material in our minds
and we have no place where we can put it!

Database formats

The Text Encoding Initiative Consortium has a very well developed XML DTD and
Schema for dictionaries, words, definitions, etc. I know one of the ideas for
the wiktionary redesign was simplicity, but this could be a good building block
for some of the back-end stuff, or even exporting some of the information out
to users.
