I agree with Anthere on a few points. You agreed on rules, you should 
imo apply'em on a few projects creation before asking for a change - so 
you can argue why it's better to change, based on experience and not 
just because you feel it would be better.

I too regret how fr: was created - for reasons others have explained. I 
don't have anything against creating new projects, but i think we must 
make sure it won't be such a mess (i am not blaming anyone, just stating 
facts). And changing rules all the time makes for a real mess in my opinion.

I understand your motivations are to create more wikinews. Fine, but in 
due time, no need to rush, wait for community to ask loudly for a wikinews.
