We're still waiting for the FDL 1.3. Since there's been no resolution within the timeframe we hoped for, we're going to re-allow the creation of new Wikimedia wikis. To make sure that we can safely transition to CC-BY-SA, we're going to dual-license them under CC-BY-SA 3.0:
Won't this prevent writing articles translated from GFDL-only wikis? If A licenses a text under GFDL, you cannot license a derivative under cc-by-sa. And if we can transition the "old" GFDL-only wikis, why can't we transition the new ones if we start them GFDL-only?

Same thought occurred to me. NL Wikibooks is also dual licensed, and it is with that respect a small pain in the ass. I think that especially for new wiki's with brand new users this is not very practical, as they have already trouble enough to understand what a free license is at all... (and now they'll be told that they can't even translate articles from other Wikipediae, but they can translate from french to english? :S)
I think it would be good if this would be reconsidered if this argument did not come up yet.
