It should also be made possible for the local wikibase to use local
prefixes other than 'P' and 'Q' for its own local properties and items,
otherwise it makes things needlessly confusing -- but currently I think
this is not possible.

I would add another very important aspect - query prefixes - to build some
cohesion within Wikibase community.
Currently, WDQS hardcodes prefixes like "wd:" and "wdt:" to be based on the
"conceptUri" parameter. Which means that any Wikibase installation that
has its own data would still use well-recognized wd* style prefixes, but
they would not mean the same thing as for Wikidata, causing confusion.
This is especially important because in most cases, people will want to use
federated queries to join data from their own Wikibase instances with the
Wikidata one.
My project - sophox.org (OpenStreetMap data and metadata) - has set up an
additional set of prefixes that mirror the wd* ones -- osmd, osmdt, ...,
but users still have to override the default wd: meaning to point back to
Wikidata, otherwise they cannot meaningfully use Wikidata federation.

Hello,
In the pre-conference of SWIB18 [1], Stacy Allison-Cassin and Dan Scott
have lead yesterday a great workshop on "Wikibase: configure, customize,
and collaborate".
Among others, the discussion on the panel have show the big interest on a
decentralized mode to use Wikidata throug a network of Wikibase instances.
To implement it, we have identify the following needs:
- Wikibase instance on Docker have to be update to current version of
the software.
- A users' community have to be build and remain in close connecting
interactions
with the development team.
- Performing Import and export script between Wikidata and Wikibase
have to be achieve.
- Connecting Properties have to be developping in the way to
interoperate the instances.
Is the Wikidata Community agree with this proposal? The development team
also?
Is it necessary to open a second mailing-list dedicate to Wikibase?
Where is the best place to discuss of all this things?
Best Regards
Baptiste
