[Foundation-l] Fwd: [WikiEN-l] Bot policy for all wikis

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Sorry there are something like 700+ projects .. the current number of
Wikipedias is bigger then what is currently shown on meta's list of
Wikipedias it must be over 260+ now. Maybe someone can update this list ?
Thanks,
      Gerard
