Hi,
There is no deadline. The wiki closure proposal was closed because of
a new policy that was implemented (which gives us, the language
committee, control over closing wikis). Anyone can re-submit a
proposal. But as long as you are actively looking for contributors,
the Wikipedia will not be closed.
Regards,
Robin

Thanks, Gerard. So the deadline is? I know Wikimania
was beginning of
August, but I've only really started getting the word out so if you could
give us end of Sept that would be great.
I've been chatting to people and just started a Facebook page to help people
out

We'll see :)

Hoi,
The current situation is as follows: We have promised not to continue the
closure procedure for a month. This was agreed at Wikimania. When the month
is over and there has been no editing activity or localisation activity, a
closure procedure will start that takes some two months. When there is no
editing or localisation activity the content of the Sotho Wikipedia will be
moved to the Incubator awaiting editing and localisation activity.
In order to get out of the Incubator, a project has to comply with the
requirements of a new project. This includes activity by multiple people
over a couple of months. It also includes a minumum number of articles and a
minimal localisation of the user interface.
The requirements are designed to give a project a good chance to grow and
prosper. As you can read in my reply, what we are looking for is people
caring for their language, caring for their Wikipedia.
Thanks,

Dear Gerard,
Can this be true? Doesn't sound to me like it is. (Or at least I didn't
know that LangCom even had a 'delete' policy). Would like to know more if
possible.
Thanks,
Achal

What happens if it's deleted and we later get interest? Can we
"undelete"?
