Hoi,
The language committee is empowered to decide on all new projects. It has
been this way since its start. Nothing new here.
Thanks,

I didn't know the language committee was empowered
to decide on whether or
not Simples were made. I thought your job was to determine valid languages.
I absolutely cannot support the continued existence of this body due to
these unknown powers and will make my voice known the next time someone
offers to can it.

Hoi,
Possibly.
Now for some cold water. At this moment the policy is explicit. We do not
accept any new Simple projects in any language. What I said was that it
would be good when there are some good numbers that prove the value of a
simple project. Once this is more clear, we may reconsider.
Thanks,
GerardM

I could be wrong, but I think you're
misreading the point here. It's that
we should Incubate more Simples in more languages, not that we need
a Simple Incubator...

Hoi,
There is no room nor need for a simple Incubator. One suffices.
