I agree the New Project Policy simply needs revisiting and improvement to address many of the basic questions here. And there is a part of this conversation that informs the new language policy as well -- we must consider whether "to each person in their own language" is still essential, and how much we care when a Wikipedia in a minor language becomes the most significant and useful corpus of text available online. [Some people and organizations certainly care a great deal about that.]

I would be most interested to help with focused work here on these questions, including research, discussion of demands and interests, and analysis of how other organizations handle the "umbrella vs. orchard" question. I mentioned the idea of having a task force dedicated to these questions today on the en:wv Colloquium, as it is relevant to their ongoing refinement of their scope and inclusion policies. Sj
