Well, we refused everything for kde-i18n which looked like a pure "fun=20
project" (like Klingon, Bork bork (Mock Chinese), Redneck English) or a loc=
al=20
dialect of an existing language (Saxon, Bavarian dialects for German) which=
=20
in the end also leads to "just another fun project".

"Real languages" (and esp. minority languages) are of course important to K=
DE.=20
The question is where to draw the line to a "mere dialect" and a "fun=20
project". Still can't decide this for Piemontese from the postings here. Wi=
ll=20
try to make find the time for some web research over the next days.

Thomas
