I promised I was going to keep old project requests moving along after the new year. So here are four:
Wikipedia Swabian: Propose to reject. Although it has a language code, Swabian is already included within Alemannic Wikipedia. Starting initial seven-day
clock on this now.
Wikipedia Manchu (on hold since March 2010, waiting for native speakers): Marking eligible. This project has been fairly active on Incubator
recently, and the tool to allow the vertical Manchu script is working very nicely.
Wikipedia Kutchi: Marking eligible. Has a language code, and about 875,000 speakers in India and Pakistan.
Wikipedia Kumaoni: Marking as "on hold". In principle, should be eligible. But there is no test project on Incubator, and most speakers are bilingual
in Hindi. (It's not that these are mutually intelligible languages, just that Hindi is a lingua franca in the area.) So I'd like to place this on hold until someone comes who is interested in starting the project.
