I take this to mean that we can move forward with final approval. Just one comment, and one question:
Comment: I can’t formally close this and create the phabricator task until Wednesday, because I didn’t post the public notice on Meta until last Wednesday.
Question: Do I need to say something about the whole coding issue on the approval page and/or in the phabricator task?

Thanks for the mention!
Yes, it looks good to me, although my Mac has some problems with the "comma
tone", but that's also the case when I write something in Shan. I am
positively surprized about the number of articles and that many of them
aren't just stubs but actually quite long (I don't speak Shan fluently
enough to actually read through an entire long article before getting
tired). I also expected there to be issues with Unicode vs. Zawgyi vs.
other encodings for Shan, because there are several different encodings for
Shan, just like there are for Burmese. The articles are all in Unicode,
great!
However, this also means, that at least in the near future, while Burma is
still a "non-Unicode country", most Shan speakers with laptop and interest
might not be able to write articles.
I can only hope that a Jinghpaw Wikipedia will someday be as
well-progressing.
