Also, there are some new users without right to vote for that question.
Does this mean you are explicitly excluding certain users from the vote? Wouldn't that be unfair?
I am a long-time contributor to the English Wikipedia, but have never used the Serbian one. Will I be allowed to vote? I think I should be, and my vote would be that Latin and Cyrillic script should coexist on the same Wiki.
I don't edit on sr, so I wouldn't expect to have that right there. English has had its own restrictions on certain things where a person would need some number of edits, or some amount of time before editing. I suspect that that's what's going on in their project.
Binding votes only make things work. 33% is a significant minority. We have Wikis for languages with far less credibility. Votes in this situation thend to impose the "tyranny of the majority". A better approach is to have both sides recognize the rights and desires of the other, and try to accomodate them.
I think that most of us non-Serbian speakers would vote like Timwi. Not having separate British and American version for English was a very positive early decision.
