Hi all,
With a group of people (mainly educators, not that many Wikimedians) we have been playing with the Finnish Wikiversity on beta for something like 6 months. It is in here:
http://beta.wikiversity.org/wiki/P%C3%A4%C3%A4sivu
The community has been pretty active and growing. There are also number of ongoing study circles, study groups, courses etc.
Two months ago someone finally made a requests for new languages in the meta. It is in here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/ Wikiversity_Finnish_2
Now we are a bit confused and do not really know what is still missing if anything or how the process should move on from here.
Is there someone who could advice us?

Hi Teemu,
The project-creation process has been in a bit of a mess recently, due to ongoing work on possible migration from GFDL to a CC licence (or harmonisation between them). Project creation has finally got going again in the last week, after a lengthy fallow period. So that's just by way of some context.
Analysis of fi.wv is at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_subcommittee/Status/wv/fi - seems like there might be some more translation of mediawiki messages needed in order to fulfill localisation requirements. The best people to advise you on this would be someone on the language committee < http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_subcommittee%3E - I find Pathoschild very efficient to deal with http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pathoschild. It may be that some final work needs to be done, or it may simply be that the developers and the committee are working through a backlog of project creation requests.
All the best with it - hope it moves into its own domain soon. :-)
