[Foundation-l] Criteria for the closure of projects.

[Ilario Valdelli]

I agree.

To have a Wikipedia project you need to have a "writing people" (not
speaking people).

If they are not probably *new* articles cannot be produced.

IMHO for extinct languages probably are better other types of project
like Wikisource.

IMHO Wikipedia has got a popular purpose and this project must
widespread content, if there are not a live community this purpose is
not reached. Different is the purpose of Wikisource which must collect
and archive documents.
