Subject: Re: [Wikipedia-l] [Wikimediaindia-l] Creation of new language - Ahirani
Hoi,
At the Incubator the notion of using translations produced by other people
then the ones who are incubating the project is seriously not welcome. At
the Incubator we must see people involved in the language itself. Anything
else defeats the purpose of the Incubator and the language policies. When
there is doubt to the actual size and proficiency of the people involved it
is reason to not allow the language to go to the next level.
Remember, the language policy was created in order to prevent the many dead
projects we still have. The growing number of dead projects almost put a
stop to the creation of any new language projects. It is important to
realise that the policy ensures the vitality of new projects. Translations
from outside the WMF are not welcome at the Incubator.
Thanks,
Gerard
