I just completed an evaluation of what is contained in Incubator. Here are some detailshttps://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Test_status_statistics:
* There were 1,020 tests with at least one apparently valid page of content. * Of those, just under half were "substantial". I define "substantial" as follows: (a) at least one page added to the project in 2017 or later, excluding clear housekeeping additions, and/or (b) at least 25 mainspace pages in the test. * Two of those are tests that have been approved and are awaiting creation (Ingush Wikipedia, Elefen Wikipedia). (MF-Warburg: I know these have been slowed down with the developers. Do you have any timeframe on them?) * Aside from those two, thirteen others have sufficient activity to meet the activity requirement for approval (at least three current consecutive months of at least three registered users having at least ten edits each). * Of those thirteen: * One has been tentatively approved, but is still pending language verification (Gorontalo Wikipedia). (MF-Warburg and Amir: Do we need to look for different experts?) * One more is now ready for evaluation by LangCom (Shan Wikipediahttps://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/shn). * One is currently being discussed by LangCom (Pashto Wikivoyage). * The other ten are not ready for an approval discussion, for other reasons: * Nyungar Wikipedia: Current LangCom discussion on language of content. * Sakizaya Wikipedia: There is currently an issue with the language code. The code the community uses, ais, is not an invalid one for the language, at least for the purpose of running a test on Incubator. But the issue needs to be resolved more completely before LangCom fully considers approval of the project. The community expects to try to resolve that in next year's batch of requests at SIL. If anyone wants more information, just let me know. (The test is also still a little stubby.) * The remaining eight tests are either too stubby, or their interface translation is incomplete, or both. I am trying to encourage these communities to start filling out pages more fully, rather than creating more stubs.
Any questions, please let me know.

Hi,

The tasks are here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183561 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184374
I'm not sure what is blocking them. This shouldn't take so long.
As always, I have to mention the tasks, resolving which is supposed to make this easier and faster: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T158730 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T165585
Unfortunately, nobody is working on them at the moment. I don't have enough power to convince the right people to work on it, but some day it will be better. If anybody can find a volunteer who can fix this, it will be great. The main needed skill is PHP, and possibly Puppet.

I've poked the Indonesian contacts again.
Sakizaya Wikipedia: There is currently an issue with the language code. The code the community uses, ais, is not an invalid one for the language, at least for the purpose of running a test on Incubator.

Maybe you can write up an explanation (in a separate thread) if you have some time; I remember there was a discussion on Talk:Langcom which I did not read, but maybe those of us acquainted with the mysteries of SIL can help with this request.
