I thought the issue was a community which would take care of a project.
So, even if a revitalized language has a community *outside* of
Wikimedia, that doesn't automatically mean that an application for a
wiki project would be granted. So, fair enough, we can accept the
application for such a language as eligible, but the promoter of the
*wiki* project still has to give evidence of the wiki project being
sustainable. Otherwise, we'll be swamped with orphaned projects.
Fwiw,
Oliver

I don't think that there should be a hard blocker for this. A language
that is reasonably used outside of Wikimedia for publishing or
education world is definitely eligible in my book.
Projects like the Tunisian Latin alphabet, which we discussed here a
few months ago, is borderline, because it looks like a hobbyist
project with little actual use, and I'd need something more
substantial. But if, for example, a real school is involved, then I
wouldn't block such things.

The thing is that if someone want to initiate a new project but
believed they does not met the written criteria, then they might
simply opt to not proceed with their application at all. If there
are no application then there are no round corner for langcom to
blend.

Hoi,
The language committee has always had the ability to do as it
sees fit. All it takes is consent from all members. There is
not much need to change the rules because there is an inherent
ability to bend the rules.
Thanks,
