Re: [Wikipedia-l] Võro Vikipeediä

[Sulev Iva]

Dear members of Wikipedia-l and Foundation-l,

I asked for creation of Võro Wikipedia last month in foundation-l and request page: 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages#V.C3.B5ro_Wikipedia.
Angela forwarded it also to the Wikipedia-l.

It was proposed in the discussion that the code for Võro Wikipedia could be for the first time "fiu-vro" or "fiu-voro". There 
was no serious objections against creating. 

Does somebody know when the Võro Wikipedia will be created? 
(By the way: on what the creation depends, who and when decides it?) 
What else should be done by me before?

Regards
Sulev (Võrok)
