Thanks for taking action on it. One immediate comment I have is that the link in the closure notice at the top is pointing to the wrong page. The correct page is: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Akan_Wikipedia_2
I may have a few more suggestions for setting it up post-closure, but a bit later. I talk to Twi and Fante editors frequently, and we'll figure out something nice. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
