[Wikitech-l] Language committee and language setup

This likely didn't help it to receive any attention! :) 2) Can you show us the language committee's open discussion and consensus summary in favor of this setup? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_subcommittee/Archives shows no evidence of any official discussion nor record of a decision. The unofficial discussion I do see at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Egyptia… seems very inconclusive. I've been told that only two members of the committee discussed and approved it, which doesn't seem to match with the spirit of the committee, which has 11 members per http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_subcommittee The reason we created a language subcommittee in the first place was to have an official body in which several people could have a discussion, come to a consensus among themselves, and hammer out a solid conclusion instead of letting these things simmer on for ages with different opinions remaining open. If that's not clearly going on, then we should make sure the committee gets back on track. - -- brion
