If there is no objection, should I just go ahead and mark it approved on Meta- Wiki?

Hoi,

Given enough interest, I do not mind a Wikisource early and quickly. As it is, Wikisource has as its prime beneficiaries its editors.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I believe Balinese Wikisource should be moved to a separate domain now.[1] There are thousands of Indexes in the language already and 18 users with 10+ edits and there has been more than enough activity in the last 3 months.[2]

The most used messages have already been translated as there exists a Balinese Wikipedia already and ProofreadPage related messages have also been translated.[3]

The community has been regularly engaging with the project and there are a few WMF funded grants that prove this.[4][5]

I strongly support the creation of this new Wikisource as soon as possible. More so because it relies on certain gadgets and tools which would be better supported on a separate wiki as default gadgets rather than making community members to add it on their Common.js.
