Language committee/Reports/2011-09

This is the language committee report for September 2011.

There will be a Hackathon in Mumbai, India (19-20 November) which focuses partially on language support. Several members will participate.

The Oriya Wiktionary has been re-opened. It is the first time that a closed wiki is unlocked. Though the requirements were not met, it was approved because there will be a workshop in Bhubaneswar, India where the Oriya projects will be promoted and because re-opening a wiki is easy.
The Northern Sotho Wikipedia has been approved, but waiting for creation (bug 30882).
The Lezgi Wikipedia and Tachelhit Wikipedia can be approved if someone who can verify the content is found.

The language code "als" (assigned to Tosk Albanian) is misused by Alemannic [gsw]. The als.wikipedia.org should be moved (see bug 23215), but User:Terfili submitted an ISO 639-3 change request to create an Alemannic macrolanguage "aeg" including the current code "gsw". If that passes, the wiki would likely be moved to aeg.wikipedia.org.
