[Wikipedia-l] Fwd: whom I have to ask for approval of Gileki wikipedia?how find a developer?

[Ray Saintonge]

I think we can do without Novial in the same way we can do without 
Klingon.  The arguments in its favour seem to give it an importance that 
is not matched with reality.  The inclusion of Novial words in the 
English Wiktionary does not imply that a full project for this language 
is warranted.  The Wikibook about Novial quite properly explains the 
language; it does nothing to establish that there is anything other than 
translations or books about Novial written about the language.  Who is 
the audience for this language?

I would even question the legitimacy of many of the votes in support of 
the language.
