ASL is the latest example of this. It makes sense to allow for one Wikipedia
with SignWriting because it is the only way that we will get the technical
aspects of MediaWiki right. It means that issues will be exposed in Commons
and Wikidata as well.
This is denied for no reason that is clear to me.
I feel that when we cannot make use of the room the policy allows us, there
is no purpose for me to be a member.. It is up to the rest of the committee
to consider this. I hope that we will have an ASL Wikipedia in the near
future but if that is not to be, it and the implementation of the language
policy is no longer my active concern.
Gerard, while I personally think ASL should go, I completely
understand MF-Warburg's position.
You are the one who is insisting on the strict interpretation of the
rules whenever it doesn't affect what you want and it's seriously
frustrating to deal with you in that sense. In fact, it's that much
frustrating, that you left as the only person pushing non-strict
interpretation of the rules last few years.
I suppose we should change something to make things go smoothly.
