Hoi, I think it is best to indicate opposition as soon as possible. Even with thirty people on a kok wikipedia there are now sufficient reasons to deny the project. Without a good write up explaining how a kok wikipedia would respect the seven languages that are now split off from this code, I am against the creation of this project Thanks, GerardM

Isn't it also better if we wait for the required 5 users? Right now it seems there are only two.

Hoi, It is that simply a matter of picking and choosing. This project was "voted" into being, It proved to be fractious for good reason; there being more than one language behind the kok ISO-639-2 language code. There is already a fight over the script, I think it best when we have a proposal on how this is to be settled.
Without such a proposal I am dead against it moving to a full WMF language.
Thanks, GerardM

GOM, if not KNN. As Frederick is Goan and that is (afaik) the major variety, I can but assume that is the one they will use.

We're also having a script war going on here amidst Kok. But I think it will happen one day, hopefully sooner rather than later. FN

Well, you could certainly take the lead by writing good articles for http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/kok/ . It is currently empty because of lack of participation.
Hoi, I have had a look at Konkani, the code currently in use on the Incubator will not necessarily lead to new project. Konkani is in ISO-639-3 no longer considered to be a single language. There are currently seven languages that all make up Konkani; they are
Katkari [kfu <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=kfu>] (India <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=IN>) Konkani [knn <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=knn>] (India <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=IN>) Konkani, Goanese [gom <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=gom>] (India <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=IN>) Kukna [kex <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=kex>] (India <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=IN>) Phudagi [phd <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=phd>] (India <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=IN>) Samvedi [smv <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=smv>] (India <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=IN>) Varli [vav <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=vav>] (India <http://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=IN>)
This means that you can forget about a script war; the paricipant of these script wars will probably belong to one of these seven. The first battle you will have to fight is the clarification of what it is that you want.
Thanks, GerardM
