By the way... Ec and the others... what do you think of the shutdown of 
ja wiktionary ?

I am asking the question, because if I put in line

* shut down of wiktionary - after vote and decision by the japanese 
community only. No opposition clearly voiced after the shut down.

* opening of wikinews - after decision by Erik, with 5 editors support 
and against french community opinion - clear complaints after the opening.

* prospective opening of chinese wikinews - a poll made on meta show a 
lack of clarity on whether the decision should be made 1) with 5 editors 
or 2) with a global vote or 3) with a chinese vote

So, the least we can say, is that in terms of opening projects, or 
closing projects, is that THERE IS NO CONSENSUS ON HOW IT SHOULD BE DONE :-)
