Surprise, surprise! When you write "I am of the opinion that we may rethink our policy", does that mean that our current policy actually *is* that secondary projects are automatically granted without discussion by LangCom? If that is the case, why hasn't nap.wikisource been granted long ago? Who's responsible for changing secondary projects from incubator to wiki.org? Sorry about my ignorance but I really would like to know. Fwiw, Oliver

Hoi, It is exactly one of the competences of the Language committee to allow for new projects. With the stagnant affairs of new secondary projects, I am of the opinion that we may rethink our policy. Currently a large part of all the messages need to be translated. I doubt that it can be seriously expected to happen for nap.wikisource. At the same time I would personally welcome it for the value that it brings. Thanks, GerarddM

As far as I know, the acceptance of an additional wiki-product is not within LangCom's activities; only first-ever wiki-products in a new language are. As Neapolitan has a wikipedia already, wikisource should be granted automatically if all requirements are fulfilled. No discussion and explicit approval by LangCom should be needed.

The status of the neapolitan wikisource project is as follows: - More than 2500 proofread pages - Three or more contributors during the last 8 months - Two or more contributors working intensively during more than 1 year - Core localisation complete, proofread complete, extensions at 30% and growing - Third biggest language in mul.wikisource by number of pages and growing - First language in mul.wikisource with a request on hold - Iso code and long-term running wikipedia We need the project to be activated: - We'll provide better tools within our own language domain - We'll provide better access to our native speakers and literates - It is a minority language and time passes while the speaking population gets older (and the contributors too) - We'll provide easy access to the humanity to the public domain in our language. This is now simply getting diluted into mul.wikisource, it.wikisource or en.wikisource, just as our books and songs are diluted and lost into the libraries of all over the world. If approved and opened tomorrow it would be already more active and big than many other open wikisources.
