An idea that I raised during a discussion between the language
committee and Wikimedia South Africa was to inform chapters when a
request for closing a wiki is made for a language that is spoken in a
country which has a Wikimedia chapter. For this I made a list on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapters_per_Wikimedia_language -- it
took me some time but I think it is well worth it.
So when proposing a wiki for closure, you should inform the main
chapter listed there so they have a chance to find interested people
who can contribute to the respective project.
This is an excellent idea. However, to cut down on frivolous closure
requests, will you also make more explicit on the page (within the
policy) that requests for closure can *no longer* be based upon
inactivity alone? My understanding is that langcom has quite a lot to
take care of anyway, and this will simply forestall irrelevant requests
that cause inadvertent panic, like in the case of Sesotho and Xitsonga
recently.
The list can also be useful when opening projects. If
wanted, I or
formally the language committee could also directly inform chapters
when a wiki is opened in a language spoken in one or more countries
covered by chapters.
