I had this on my radar before, but I do not think that SMW is completely 
at the heart of this call, since they are focussing on data 
(collections) and data reuse, whereas SMW is mainly a data 
provider/authoring system. It is not easy to find a concrete individual 
use of SMW that generates a dataset that is significant enough to run 
against very large, e.g. government created, data collections or 
data-based information portals. I do not think that thousands of small 
datasets from unconnected topic areas would have a chance in this 
contest, so one would have to enter a particular SMW-application, or 
show some more reuse of external data within SMW.

That said, we are happy to support concrete proposals if someone has an 
idea how to best approach this.

Cheers,

Markus
