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,

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.
Best wishes,

I want to bring to the attention of the
Langcom that there is an
application for a neapolitan wikisource
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Neapolitan>
pending evaluation since 2011.
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.
Thanks for the attention,
C.R.
