I'm especially happy for the Karakalpak WP, this is not their first try!

> Hoi,
> The board of the Wikimedia Foundation approved eight new projects.
>
>   - Portuguese Wikiversity
>   - Limburgish Wikisource
>   - Sranan Tongo Wikipedia
>   - Silesian Wikipedia
>   - Moksha Wikipedia
>   - Karakalpak Wikipedia
>   - Fiji Hindi Wikipedia
>   - Czech Wikinews
>
> We welcome the new projects and we urge one of the developers ANY of the
> developers to create the projects and include them with a dual license
> CC-by-sa / GFDL. The Wikinews project needs the CC-by license.  DO NOT COPY
> ANY DATA IN. Leave that for the new communities to deal with. This will side
> step the dual licensing abomination.
>
> When you are at it PLEASE do the same for:
>
>   - Extramaduran Wikipedia (78 days)
>   - Gan Wikipedia (78 days)
>   - Erzya Wikipedia (94 days)
>   - Hungarian Wikinews (112 days)
>
> There is NO reason why the Hungarian Wikinews has had to wait for so long.
>
> It is with some mingled emotions that I welcome the new projects. I am happy
> for the effort that people put into new projects, it is with fear that these
> projects will suffer from a lack of involvement that prevents new projects
> from being created and it is with increased frustration and anger that
> people like the Hungarians have to wait. Please make not only me happy, and
> help us celebrate the start of these new projects and make them a reality.
> Thanks,
