Hello.

Brion Vibber, the Foundation's Chief Technical Officer said that 
"Currently, no new wikis will be created until GFDL 1.3 is released.".

Hungarian Wikinews, Erzya and Extremaduran and Gan Wikipedia, and 
Japanese Wikiversity are approved projects currently waiting creation.

These projects had waited for a month, before Brion said about a 
moratorium. It is unknown, when GFDL 1.3 will be released, few weeks or 
maybe few months?

I think that license changing is completely unrelated to the process of 
  creating new wiki projects.

Why new wikis will not be created? Many people are waiting.
