[Foundation-l] Language Prevention Committee created

[Jesse Martin (Pathoschild)]

Hello,

The Language Prevention (sub)Committee would like to announce that the
Kabyle Wikipedia  has entered the localization stage. Once the primary
interface messages are translated, the subcommittee will recommend the
creation of the Kabyle Wikipedia to the board.

The Kabyle Wikipedia will be the first new wiki approved by the
subcommittee, so we've asked the Kabyle community to help tweak the
process for future requests. Based on this discussion, we have made it
unnecessary to translate the entire interface: 327 messages are
currently listed as unnecessary, and users have been invited to
suggest others.

The Language Prevention (sub)Committee is profoundly sorry for failing
to prevent the upcoming creation of the Kabyle Wikipedia, and is in
particular sorry for projecting a far quicker processing rate once the
procedure has been tested.

Yours cordially,
Jesse Martin (Pathoschild)
