This is difficult. For example, the Extremaduran Wikipedia test project has been edited by 34 users, some of which are inactive. http://tools.wikimedia.de/~pathoschild/ls-testanalysis/?prefix=wp/ext
This won't be necessary. Existing incubator content _can_ remain under FDL only. New edits to the wikis that are being set up right now have to have the "will agree to the possibility of migration" clause.
Erik, I needed a lot of time to understand what are you saying. So, I'll try to explain it to others:
A clause for migration from GFDL 1.3 to CC-BY-SA 3.x/whatever will be applied only to wikis started before some date. This date is obviously before the present.
So, this applies to all existing projects, except to new ones; which includes Incubator, too.
Contributors should *state* that their work may be used under the terms under CC-BY-SA 3.0 (or any later) *in the case* of switching from GFDL to CC-BY-SA.
This means that they are able to freely translate anything from any GFDL project, as well as the project will be licensed under GFDL until the migration.
I hope that I explained the main part of misunderstanding.
