"Hasty decisions"? mo.wikipedia is freezed since March 2006! A decision 
should be made. Either Cyrillic Moldovan is legitimate - then it should 
be reopened - or it is not legitimate - then it should be closed 
altogether. Or it is legitimate, but not as a project of its own, but as 
an automatic transcription of the Latin Romanian content - then this 
should be implemented.

There are 401 articles in the freezed Wikipedia. Some empty, some short, 
some messed up, some quite comprehensive. Most of them translations 
(well, actually transliterations, not translations) of Romanian 
articles. Romanian articles of 2006, of course. Whatever you think about 
the legitimacy of Cyrillic Moldovan, this project in its current state 
is quite useless as a source of information. To keep it as it is and to 
do nothing, is the worst decision that can be made.

The facts are established, there are no big open issues. We just have to 
establish decisions. No hasty decisions, but nonetheless prompt decisions.

This is the foundation mailing list. Foundation executives should read 
it and act upon issues raised on this list. If they don't, this list is 
completely useless. Renaming the project to mo-cyrillic would be a 
logical step, but it's not a solution. Please act now. Go.
