Hello,
The process on the multilingual Wikisource domain is not covered by
the language subcommittee yet; you'll notice that there is a redundant
process at <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/RFL#Wikisource>. The
secondary processes will eventually be merged into the Meta process
(probably a combination of both, not simply removing one), but we want
to make sure that the latter is working at a reasonable efficiency
first. As your sarcasm indicates you already know, we've had some
difficulty starting up.
I would suggest continuing to follow the Wikisource process, since the
request is there. This process is the same as it was on Meta until the
reform: file a bug request following community approval, and it might
be done eventually. I'm sorry that we can't do anything more at the
moment, but we're busy catching up on requests (for many projects,
*not* only Wikipedias) that were filed through the subcommittee
process in the transitional period.
Yours cordially,
Jesse Martin (Pathoschild)

Hi
There is a successful and old request for opening a new wiki not yet
fulfilled. Language prevention/creation committee/subcommittee or
whatever/anything else, please forgive the MessagexXX.php paranoia and see
requests for non-Wikipedias wikis a while.
# [[:oldwikisource:]] have a [[Wikisource:Language domain requests]] page.
# This page have at least one successful request for a new Wikisource wiki:
Tamil Wikisource (ta.wikisource)
## This have a large community support:
http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Language_domain_requests…
## This have "incubator" pages:
http://wikisource.org/wiki/Category:Tamil
## This have a bugzilla request:
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6982
## The MessagesTa.php is avaiable at MediaWiki SVN repository
## There is someone interested on editing in this non-existing exactly now:
http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3A-jkb-&diff=215093&a…
## I've asked about it on the langcom wiki yesterday but no one
apparentlyhave read it.
And, if the language prevention/creation committee/subcommittee or
whatever/anything else isn't happy to increase the current amount of
Wikimedia wikis, I found a good solution: open the ta.wikisource and close
the ang.wikisource. No, no one have deleted the MessagesAng.php from
subversion, this apparently has never created, but you can find a vote to
close that wiki with large community support at:
