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.
