Dear all,
I want to bring to the attention of the Langcom that there is an update on
the application for a neapolitan wikisource
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Neapolitan>,
which is pending evaluation since 2011.
The updated status of the neapolitan wikisource project is as follows:
- More than 3000 proofread pages
- Three or more contributors during the last 9 months
- Two or more contributors working intensively during more than 1 year
- Localisation complete
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/robin/?tool=codelookup&code=nap>
- Biggest language in mul.wikisource by number of proofread pages and
growing
- Iso code and long-term running wikipedia
We need the project to be activated:
- We'll provide better tools within our own language domain
- We'll provide better access to our native speakers and literates
- It is a minority language and time passes while the speaking population
gets older (and the contributors too)
- We'll provide easy access to the humanity to the public domain in our
language. This is now simply getting diluted into mul.wikisource,
it.wikisource or en.wikisource, just as our books and songs are diluted and
lost into the libraries of all over the world. We believe that a dedicated
project is the best solution in order to support a language that cannot be
fully deployed as a project by means of perpetual incubation into another
project , specially when the other projects have no explicit scope or
interest for neapolitan language (just as all the wikisources were opened
in 2006)
Thanks for the attention,
C.R.
