Leaving aside the question of whether we should change policies about separate-language Wikisource projects for the time being, I'll note that our longstanding policy has been that three consecutive months of qualifying activity is sufficient to meet the "active test community" requirement. I routinely tell that to test communities. If we want to change that in the future, we can do so. But in this case, the test community has already done everything we have asked of it.

Besides, while it is important to ensure that each wiki we approve continues to have a contributing community, I worry less about Wikisource (and Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikiquote) than I do about Wikipedia–Wikinews–Wikitravel. Information gets stale (or is quite subject to political manipulation) in the latter group, less so in the former group.

So I think we need to proceed with this approval.

Yes, "active" is thought of as "at least several months", and "at least several" means at least 3. So here we're at the lower threshold, not at some level where we "need to" approve.

> I agree with Steven here. A sysop from multilingual Wikisource reached out to me recently to ask if we are going to have a separate Hindi Wikisource soon, since it was feared that the multilingual Wikisource might become the de facto Hindi Wikisource. 

I have read that as well somewhere. What kind of argument is that supposed to be? It's not like any other languages' "space" is taken up by the Hindi content.
