Hoi,
The interface of MediaWiki is right to left or left to right. With ASL it
has to be top down. This is something that has never been considered. I
have asked for ASL to become a full project so that the issues can be
properly seen, diagnosed and remedied. It will be supported by the
SignWriting Foundation. There is no chance that it will be abandoned and it
is imho enough reason to allow for it to be created at this time.
Thanks,
GerardM

The language policy allows us to be flexible with how we interpret the

experience is that we are not using this flexibility. I made
several proposals over te last few years and they have all been torpedoed.
Which ones?
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.
Can you explain why the incubator isn’t enough? I mean, if it’s not
working entirely well, isn’t that a problem?
