Hoi,
The issue is that we do not have to do anything. It is the people themselves
who do something. The best that we can do is provide a platform. The only
thing that we have to do is ensure that our platform can cope. It is a
theoretical question that has no merit unless you want this question
answered to prevent people from working on their language.
Thanks,
     GerardM
