Hoi,
For me when a body like a chapter or a reputable organisation says that
they will support a project it means for me that we should not insist on
the Incubator as much as we do.
Thanks,
GerardM

sorry folks ahs anyone actually looked at this it
should just be closed as
not yet, it been proposed a user who has made a total of nine edits across
all projects on 22/23 November 2016 nothing since.
The cultural issues that this person will face are significant, even more
as they dont speak the language. After 3 years of work on the NYS language
with local community support it'll go nowhere.
Wikimedia Australia and myself will help any of the indigenous language
groups develop a Wikipedia ultimately having over 300 Indigenous Australia
language projects would awesome but dont set them up to fail specially like
this where the damage done and lost of trust from the speaking community
will have a profound lasting impact on sharing knowledge.

There is a proposal [1] for Wikipedia in
Bandjalang [2]. It is a
Pama–Nyungan language [3], an indigenous languages of Australia.
The problem with indigenous languages of Australia is that they are
used by very small number of speakers. The rule is that there are just
few dozen of speakers.
According to Ethnologue, the language is "shifting" [4], meaning that
it is not likely that there are young speakers.
Usual action in the situations like this one is to put the proposal
"on hold" and wait for native speakers. However, I think that WM AU
could do something here. And that's why I've added Gideon Digby into
communication.
