Hoi,
The bottleneck is associated with NEW languages. So when a new project
is requested for an existing language, it is more an issue of how the
particular projects deal with this; WikiNews for instance has its own
procedure. When a new project is started, it is expected that the
language does have a message file that is part of MediaWiki proper. When
it is not, it is the ideal moment to make it part of MediaWiki proper;
this will prevent that the messages have to be localised yet again.
Thanks,
GerardM
PS I take it that calling the committee the "language prevention
committee" is supposed to be funny. It is not.

Hi
There is a successful and old request for opening a new wiki not yet
fulfilled. Language prevention/creation committee/subcommittee or
whatever/anything else, please forgive the MessagexXX.php paranoia and see
requests for non-Wikipedias wikis a while.
# [[:oldwikisource:]] have a [[Wikisource:Language domain requests]] page.
# This page have at least one successful request for a new Wikisource wiki:
Tamil Wikisource (ta.wikisource)
## This have a large community support:
http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Language_domain_requests…
## This have "incubator" pages:
http://wikisource.org/wiki/Category:Tamil
## This have a bugzilla request:
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6982
## The MessagesTa.php is avaiable at MediaWiki SVN repository
## There is someone interested on editing in this non-existing exactly now:
http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3A-jkb-&diff=215093&a…
## I've asked about it on the langcom wiki yesterday but no one
apparentlyhave read it.
And, if the language prevention/creation committee/subcommittee or
whatever/anything else isn't happy to increase the current amount of
Wikimedia wikis, I found a good solution: open the ta.wikisource and close
the ang.wikisource. No, no one have deleted the MessagesAng.php from
subversion, this apparently has never created, but you can find a vote to
close that wiki with large community support at:
