Hoi, The board of the Wikimedia Foundation approved eight new projects.
- Portuguese Wikiversity - Limburgish Wikisource - Sranan Tongo Wikipedia - Silesian Wikipedia - Moksha Wikipedia - Karakalpak Wikipedia - Fiji Hindi Wikipedia - Czech Wikinews
We welcome the new projects and we urge one of the developers ANY of the developers to create the projects and include them with a dual license CC-by-sa / GFDL. The Wikinews project needs the CC-by license. DO NOT COPY ANY DATA IN. Leave that for the new communities to deal with. This will side step the dual licensing abomination.
When you are at it PLEASE do the same for:
- Extramaduran Wikipedia (78 days) - Gan Wikipedia (78 days) - Erzya Wikipedia (94 days) - Hungarian Wikinews (112 days)
There is NO reason why the Hungarian Wikinews has had to wait for so long.
It is with some mingled emotions that I welcome the new projects. I am happy for the effort that people put into new projects, it is with fear that these projects will suffer from a lack of involvement that prevents new projects from being created and it is with increased frustration and anger that people like the Hungarians have to wait. Please make not only me happy, and help us celebrate the start of these new projects and make them a reality. Thanks, GerardM

I'm especially happy for the Karakalpak WP, this is not their first try!

Filing a bug with these important details mentioned would probably be the first step!
