Hello, The Language Prevention (sub)Committee would like to announce that the Kabyle Wikipedia has entered the localization stage. Once the primary interface messages are translated, the subcommittee will recommend the creation of the Kabyle Wikipedia to the board. The Kabyle Wikipedia will be the first new wiki approved by the subcommittee, so we've asked the Kabyle community to help tweak the process for future requests. Based on this discussion, we have made it unnecessary to translate the entire interface: 327 messages are currently listed as unnecessary, and users have been invited to suggest others. The Language Prevention (sub)Committee is profoundly sorry for failing to prevent the upcoming creation of the Kabyle Wikipedia, and is in particular sorry for projecting a far quicker processing rate once the procedure has been tested. Yours cordially, Jesse Martin (Pathoschild) * request: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Kabyle * localization discussion: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Ka… Note: This message is only partially tongue-in-cheek (try to guess which parts ;) ) and is not an official statement of the language subcommittee.
