If it is about a language of population which has 1000 persons on
Internet (because there there are just 1000 speakers of that language
in a highly developed area or because they belong to 0.01% of
population which has internet access in highly undeveloped area), it
would be really unfair not to give a project to one or two highly
devoted persons. But, it is usually about Wikipedia.
