Hi Yann,

I suppose that there is something that is not understood well: normally 
a new language is started with Wikipedia and therefore what comes later 
is quite easy to achieve since the UI is already there etc.

When a new language is introduced by a different project, let's say 
Wiktionary, Wikisource or whatever project the same rules as for a new 
Wikipedia (in a new language) apply, because it starts a "new language".

We are not controlling anything - we are just making sure that projects 
have the best possible start.

Best wishes from Italy,

Sabine
