Sorry, John. The only thing you did is soften the criteria for 
inclusion. That doesn't make the data better. You even went so far as to 
disregard the criteria superimposed by the current practice:

CKAN entry is required, if not then "fail".

Well, that is a nice table, but rather pointless. Please concentrate on 
maintaining the group resources at:
http://thedatahub.org/en/group/linguistics
or
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlMk5ouIspH1dGx1R1Rnd1ZXX0xmLXppSWFrcm0wNFE&authkey=CJi9u78D&authkey=CJi9u78D#gid=0

LemonWiktionary and Glottolog have 18 issues total, which is good.
Sebastian Nordhoff already fixed 4 bugs for Glottolog, making it much 
better and removing the "fail".
Let's work on the data, not lowering expectations.

My definition would include "anything that is useful for NLP" as well.
Besides you have redirects.

copying behaviour from http://lod-cloud.net/
We can do schemas extra, if you want to.

That is a total of 15, I counted 18.

Please concentrate on editing CKAN  or the Google spreadsheet and submit 
your data set to Google code
We are working on creating updates of the cloud based on CKAN.
@John, please read:

LemonWordnet for example needs 50 links to an existing resource. Jimmy 
O'Regan was so kind to create that for you:

Kind regards,
Sebastian
