Tentatively approved projects

  *   MF-Warburg has tried to reach out to language experts for the Saraiki 
Wikipedia and Tacawit Wiktionary.  (I presume you've still heard nothing.)
  *   I am working on experts for Guianan Creole.
  *   Has anyone tried for Mon?

Question: Is there a time limit here? (Should there be?) If we can't succeed in 
getting confirmation, don't we need at some point to say "Assume good faith; 
approve."?  A situation like this is really likely to discourage people and 
send them away, and that from our fault, not theirs.

LPP update

I heavily revised my initial draft in light of MF-Warburg's private-list email 
of December 30. In particular, I removed all references to the possibility of 
non-Wikisource projects in ancient/historical languages, and tightened up much 
of the rest of the proposal. (I did leave two footnotes in, but that's because 
they're really true references, to SIL's policy.)  Please have one more look at 
the draft at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:StevenJ81/sandbox. I'd like 
to post this publicly by next Monday or Tuesday.

I have promised the Committee I would start a separate discussion about 
allowing Wikipedias (only) in extinct languages. I plan to do that when the 
current LPP revision is finished.

Eligibility of Wikisource Literary Chinese
There are still Committee members on both sides of this. Later today or 
tomorrow I will try to summarize where I think we are now, and what next steps 
might be.
