I. We still haven't formally said yet that Northern Luri is an eligible language, but it seems like there is no issue with it.

II. Activity: Most-used msgs are complete [1] & contributions on Incubator are steady since >12 months (thousands of small edits always by Mogoeilor, who should use preview more often, but also contributions from other users), though so far in this month only 2 users over the 10-edit-threshold [2].

III. About Erik Anonby's response, I wonder how "welcoming" the peculiarities noted by him would be to other speakers of the language who do not use this particular dialect. Should we maybe ask him or Mehdi Moshkriz for their opinion on that?

Have we passed step #1 yet? i.e. has Northern Luri fulfilled the requirements for leaving the incubator?
If yes, is the aforementioned Erik Anonby an acceptable reference? I've actually met him several years ago at a linguistics conference, so if we all agree that we've concluded step #1, I'd be happy to contact him to see whether he himself could verify Northern Luri or whether he could recommend someone else to do so for us.

Fwiw,
Oliver

Thanks, that sounds perfectly reasonable.  Is there an owner to the process, e.g. a committee secretary, to ensure that in case of silence after asking #2, there is actual progress toward #3, so that it doesn't fall between the cracks?

We obviously discuss

1. whether at this stage we need to verify the content at all

2. if yes, whether someone knows an expert already

3. if no, whom to contact.

Then we contact people.

I'm not clear on the committee's process: Is it the expectation of this committee that nothing will happen until Someone<tm> produces expert testimony confirming that the content currently in the Northern Luri Wikipedia is in fact Northern Luri?  Or is the committee taking any steps to secure such testimony?
