Re: [Langcom] Two following messages on Montenegrin Wikipedia

I am about to send two messages concerning Montenegrin Wikipedia. The first is a letter that was posted on-wiki from a member of that community in support of his project. I know the RFL page on the project is now a massive wall of writing, and my sense is that not all of you have dug into it. I believe this letter summarizes his community's arguments pretty well; if it motivates you to read some of the rest of the massive wall, that's great. But it gives you sense of their point of view. The second is my promised argument in favor of the project. Before I send this argument, though, I want to make something very clear to everyone. I'm not from the Balkans in any manner whatsoever, Jewish or gentile, to the best of my knowledge. One branch of my wife's family comes from Hungary, and that's about as close as we get. So please understand that I have no personal interest in the outcome. I am making this argument because I believe that at this point it reflects the appropriate decision within the rules of WMF and the Language Committee. Thank you for hearing me out.
