It would be great to have federated Wikibase on meta.wikimedia.org 
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/> specifically to manage these kinds of projects, 
institutions we work with, etc.
I saw that idea appear on wishlists somewhere, but, I guess, seeing the current 
workload for other projects, this is not going to be implemented soonish, so an 
‘in between’ solution that is easily transferrable to external federated 
wikibase solutions later would be good.
