Hi,
Is not top/down and the various related things currently proposed by W3C mainly a task to be undertaken by browser makers? Should we not wait for the first updates to appear?

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 rules. My 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?
