This is no where close to anything about outreach. So am replying
here,would like to say 3 things on it.

1. Policies should always be determined, drafted, discussed by the
community. Please sit and watch at bay. Do not interfere with community's
autonomy unless its an extreme situation.
2. Chapter / Programs / Foundation interference on these must be minimal,
only when there is a extreme danger to the health of wiki / risking the
entities. (Interfere if a wiki is not drafting copyvio policies and is soft
on it)
3. There might be people who understand Wikipedia culture differently,
people having no idea about Wiki culture who reboot the inactive
communities, in such cases, India Programs should only be helping educate
those users about core values, policies in other wikis and the decision on
policies must always be taken by the communities themselves.

need a little notice. :)

As the old military expression goes, the impossible just takes a little
longer. Choose one script/dialect combination (organically, not by diktat),
develop it to a starting point, and I venture to suggest that enthusiasts
will come forward to support developing the variants.

Developing each dialect is too complex. It doesn't look feasible.
