What is the next step forward?
The next step is to find some people willing to pledge their support to the proposal. They need to be people who can write in this language and are committed to editing there if the wiki is set up. These people should sign up at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages#Ladino

Thanks for your answer Angela, I have made a listing on that page and it has been updated and links added.
There is enough interest that would get the project underway. When I started with the Galego wiki I was the only person adding articles until the interest caught on and now it is enjoying some good additions, same with the Interlingua wiki which more so on the Wiktionary wiki is also enjoying some good additions.
I don't recall ever having to sign up on the meta in order to get the sub-domain going, but if this is the new procedure then it is already underway. What would be the next step after this?
I'd definitely think that a wiki for Ladino would enjoy some good steady growth. And very importantly it would give a forum for people who are very devoted to keeping this language in current use. It would be a plus for the language and a plus for Wikipedia.
Would a message to Wikitech-l also be sent or would it be enough to have made these steps so far in order to have the two sub-domains set up? Since the momentum is building and I've been corresponding with other Ladino speakers about a Wikipedia and a Wiktionary in Ladino it is very important to me that a good impression is made right off, this would be good for the Ladino speaking community and good P.R. for Wikipedia also.
With regards, and appreciation for your response to my messages, Jay B.
