Yay! More Wikinews sites!
I sincerely hope some of the people over on the Hungarian version are up to translating their work over to English. Rico Shen does this from Chinese and if we had one person like that on each language, half the English contributors could quit and we'd still have a dozen or more stories a day.

Hungarian Wikinews, Erzya and Extremaduran and Gan Wikipedia, and Japanese Wikiversity are approved projects currently waiting creation.
These projects had waited for a month, before Brion said about a moratorium. It is unknown, when GFDL 1.3 will be released, few weeks or maybe few months?
The drafts we've seen of the FDL 1.3, which we have to treat as confidential at this time, require this unusual step. The release of the new license is expected shortly - if things get delayed significantly further, we'll find an alternative solution. I apologize for the inconvenience to the new project communities waiting for wikis to be created.
Since Wikinews is under CC-BY, there's indeed no reason to put new Wikinewses on hold, so Hungarian Wikinews can go ahead.
