It is interesting, although more on the larger issues
of:
* What constitutes a viable wikipedia language project? Do some
languages not deserve to have a Wikipedia? Or, conversely, do we
create a new wikipedia for every single conlang in existence?
* When, if ever, can the foundation step in to "fix" a language
project that may have gone astray? Is there a way to evaluate the
progress and status of a language project to determine if it is
generally "good" or "bad"?
* What are the criteria for closing a project, moving a project
to/from the incubator, etc?
* What are people's general feelings about using an automatic
translator bot to populate large numbers of pages?
These are all well worth discussion here and on meta.
Indeed, and all worthy of their own dedicated threads. (In fact, all
of them have been covered several times here in the past.) The
continued discussion of the fate of the Volapük Wikipedia, however, is
best left to the forum in which it's being decided, rather than
cross-posted flamewars.
