Hoi,
It is exactly one of the competences of the Language committee to allow for
new projects. With the stagnant affairs of new secondary projects, I am of
the opinion that we may rethink our policy. Currently a large part of all
the messages need to be translated. I doubt that it can be seriously
expected to happen for nap.wikisource. At the same time I would personally
welcome it for the value that it brings.
Thanks,
GerarddM

As far as I know, the acceptance of an additional
wiki-product is not
within LangCom's activities; only first-ever wiki-products in a new
language are. As Neapolitan has a wikipedia already, wikisource should be
granted automatically if all requirements are fulfilled. No discussion and
explicit approval by LangCom should be needed.
Best wishes,
Oliver Stegen

I want to bring to the attention of the Langcom that there is an application
for a neapolitan wikisource
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Neapolitan>
pending evaluation since 2011.
The status of the neapolitan wikisource project is as follows:
- More than 2500 proofread pages
- Three or more contributors during the last 8 months
- Two or more contributors working intensively during more than 1 year
- Core localisation complete, proofread complete, extensions at 30% and
growing
- Third biggest language in mul.wikisource by number of pages and growing
- First language in mul.wikisource with a request on hold
- 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.
If approved and opened tomorrow it would be already more active and big
than many other open wikisources.
Thanks for the attention,
C.R.
