For those who don't want to read the whole email, we need:
* A person who is well introduced in Wikinews. * A person who is well introduced in Wikiversity. * A person who knows to program in Python and willing to spend 2 hours/week in archiving our mailing list on Meta [1]. * Your advices in defining what "substantial activity" (at Incubator, Multilingual Wikisource or Beta Wikiversity) means for the approval of new projects, especially in the cases of new Wikinews and Wikiversity editions.
Please, send your applications and comments to me at millosh@gmail.com. If you are applying for Wikinews or Wikiversity "position", please write your thoughts on what "substantial activity" means for the project type for which "position" you are applying.
It is not hard to define implicitly or explicitly "substantial activity" for new editions of Wikipedia and for new editions of other projects which have dynamics similar to Wikipedia (Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, Wikisource). You can write an article, word definition, quote, book chapter or you can add a source once and you don't need to see that project for months. In the case of Wikinews, daily activity matters. In the case of Wikiversity, you need real people around.
Thus, we need both: your input on question what "substantial activity" for new Wikinews and Wikiversity editions means; as well as two persons who would be willing to take care about new requests for Wikinews and Wikiversity editions. If you have some important note related to the same question, but about other projects (which have Wikipedia-like dynamics), please send your comments, too. If you have any other comment related to the Language proposal policy [2] (except that it would be good to have Wikinews edition in Sumerian or so), please send them, too.
Our archives [1] are outdated because of Jesse's lack of time. It is 2 hours/week task. For that position we need a confidential person who knows to program in Python, but not necessarily (then, it is 4 hours/week task).
All of the new members will be full members of the Language committee, which means that they will participate in other parts of the new language editions approval.
