from developers or whatever at all!
The Wikimedia Foundation board has refused to endorse the proposed policy for
new language additions, so things are pretty much frozen until someone clarifies
who has authority to do what and when.
Also, simply having an ISO code is not enough justification to have a separate wiki. Our
goal is
to create encyclopedias in every language for the purpose of enabling reading and
understanding.
Many ISO codes are for mutually intelligible dialects that should not have separate wikis.
Even
having different scripts between dialects is not always a reason to have separate wikis
since we
have the ability to convert scripts on the fly.
A much better policy needs to be created that takes this into account.
BTW, the developers are most useful and greatly appreciated. Without them we would have
no
software and the servers would bog down and become useless. Developing != creating.
