Hoi,
The eo.ws is in the process of being created and sadly things do not
progress as hoped for. In the mean time a bug for the creation of the Greek
Wikinews has been added and we are in the process of approval for a new
Wikipedia.

As to Wikisource being a good start for a small language. I do not see why.
The point of writing a Wikipedia for a small language is that it quickly
becomes one of the biggest resources of the modern expression for a
language. With a Wikisource you are stuck with what happened before. Many
small languages do not have that much anyway.
Thanks,
      GerardM
