There is one more thing in which I agree with Michael... As he is in the group which creates BCP 47 language subtags, I told to him that we should get generic subtags for simple languages. His response was that we should think about it when the time comes, not before. I think that we will wait for some time, maybe even long, before we get a valid request for Simple French Wikipedia. When that time comes, we'll think about details. I mean, there are other things to be done and we've already spent a lot of time in it. The only reason why we've done so is to normalize the situation. I started with the position "we should recommend to the Board to close all simple projects" during the Berlin meeting. However, normalization went into other direction and I am fine with it, too. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
