Hoi,
I think it is best to indicate opposition as soon as possible. Even with
thirty people on a kok wikipedia there are now sufficient reasons to
deny the project. Without a good write up explaining how a kok wikipedia
would respect the seven languages that are now split off from this code,
I am against the creation of this project
Thanks,
GerardM
