1.The JAC wouldn't switch codes for just one project, but since it follows the
classification of the SIL (Ethnologue), it will change the code when the
Ethnologue does. This isn't something that will happen overnight though, the
change request process with SIL seems to be very slow, and new editions of the
Ethnologue are not released very often either.

2.There is no Swiss German Wikipedia community, the language and Wikipedia
edition is called Alemannic, of which Swiss German is just one part. That is
the reason why I am fighting "gsw" tooth and nail right now. "Gsw" right now
does not stand for all Alemannic dialects, and als.wikipedia is NOT exclusively
a Swiss German edition!

3. It is not entirely clear to me what decision has been taken here. For the
sake of transparency, it would be nice if there was a clear statement
explaining what is going on. In particular, a statement informing the Alemannic
community at our central discussion board:
