Hoi,
It is exactly one of the competences of the Language committee to allow for
new projects. With the stagnant affairs of new secondary projects, I am of
the opinion that we may rethink our policy. Currently a large part of all
the messages need to be translated. I doubt that it can be seriously
expected to happen for nap.wikisource. At the same time I would personally
welcome it for the value that it brings.
Thanks,
GerarddM
