[Foundation-l] New wiki creation moratorium

[Jon Harald Søby]

The thing is that these projects already have lots of contents under GFDL
1.2 in the Incubator. So even if you wait to create their wikis until GFDL
1.3 is released, the content will still have to be relicensed. So waiting
for it really makes no sense.
