Hello,
Perhaps some of you are aware of the formation of the Langcom.
Also, you may be aware of the recent reform of the language proposal process.
However, what you may not be aware of is that the Language Committee is taking a while to actually get underway and to the point where they can excersise control over the creation of new Wikis.
Despite that, it seems that they are already looked to as an authority in this area, while they do not act as such.
There are several new Wikipedia requests which were uncontroversial when first posed. Many of dozens of voices of support, and have thriving tests on the Incubator.
However, their requests were deleted by PathosChild who said that they would have to remake them, which they have. So far, no proposals for Wikipedias in new languages have been _approved_ under the new proposal process, despite its having been around for several months now. They just sit there. And sit there. And sit there some more.
I think it's about time something happened. I think it's about time we welcomed these people -- the Kabyles, the Latgalians, the Lower Sorbians, the Crimeans, and all the others -- into our Wikipedia family. They have waited long enough. Why can't somebody do something? Why do they have to wait for the langcom to get underway? For all we know, that could take years.
