I am pleased to announce that the ProofreadPage extension has been enabled on all subdomains. Local admins need to set the Proofreadpage_namespace variable before using it.

Other ideas say that Wikisource project is special somehow that some of the languages will never be big enough (text collections, contributors etc...) to deserve its own domain or there will never be enough community for it..and because of that they are better placed in one place (I don't really see the objection of making new sub-domains or wikis, does it cost?)

Yes is costs. It costs a large amount of labor for each separate subdomain to be montiored by admins. Currently texts in language which have not gathered a community around them (and some never will) are montiored from a single list of recent changes. Any problems readers encounter are able to be answered by the community that has developed to look over these texts. Subdomains are only good when a community to inhabit them exists.

Yes, that's the most important point. The community should be the main factor for a decision to separate a language into a subdomain. Technical issues should not.
