That says a WMF project, not Meta. Unless, of course, I'm missing something, which is entirely possible.

I am rather disturbed at the discussion on meta here:-

about closing this project and I am surpried that the issue has not come up here. While the consensus is clearly against closure, so it likely will not happen, there are issues. Is this kind of discussion on Meta really the best way to handle this kind of issue? I am particularly concerned about the suggestion that only meta regulars (with more than 100 edits there) can contribute. This prevents or at least discourages the users of Simple from going to Meta to comment. I also wonder whether Simple editors really know about this issue, although I see it is mentioned on their main page.
There is also a similar discussion about closing the Simple Wiktionary.
These issues need a much wider and intelligent debate than they are receiving. They are too important for there to be any chance that they just dissappear one day, with most people not knowing about it.
Brian.
