Hi all,
Andre Engels has recently locked the sh.wikipedia database at the recommendation of Tim Starling, on the grounds that it is "supposed to be dead".
I only commented on procedure and policy, not on the fact of the matter itself. Assessment of the facts was performed by others. As I said previously, I'm sick of the continuous discussion of linguistics on wikipedia-l and I wish it could be taken offlist. I've never made any judgement on the status of Serbo-Croatian and I don't intend to start now.
How about a separate mailinglist for 'small language wikipedia's' and 'new wikipedia-related projects'?
I doubt that that would work. A significant portion of the people who are likely to work on these are newbies who are may not be familiar with the list. Each language that is considered will have a whole new set of newbies. Once a particular language wiki is implemented that group will lose interest in the mailing list because they will be too busy with their own pedia.
