Hello, We have not usurped anything. Users may continue using the oldwikisource process and petitioning developers to create wikis. Developers have shown a disinclination to do this, which is understandable, but that is their free choice and not an order by the subcommittee. The processes should eventually be merged when the subcommittee process has been streamlined, but the key word is "merged". The old and new will be combined to keep the best of each; for example, we might continue using oldwikisource while throwing out the votes. I don't see the old request process as being very successful, however. The Old English Wikisource is being requested for closure (with near unanimity) months after it was requested into existence. That wiki was created despite the continued hosting of Old English content on the English Wikisource, with no ready community, and with no test project. Since then there has been no community and no content development. Not really a smashing success. * Closure request: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Ol… Yours cordially, Jesse Martin (Pathoschild) On 4/2/07, Yann Forget <yann(a)forget-me.net> wrote:
