Sa kasaysayan, kini gitukod isip subcommittee sa Komite sa Espesyal nga Proyekto. Sa wala na ang maong komite, direkta kining nagtaho sa Wikimedia Board sa Trustees.
Ang Komite sa Pinulongan kasagarang naglihok sa proseso sa Mga Pangayo alang sa bag-ong mga pinulongan pinaagi sa pagrepaso sa mga hangyo, paghatag ug tambag ug sa katapusan nagrekomendar sa paghimo ug bag-ong mga bersiyon sa pinulongan ngadto sa Lupon. Ang indibidwal nga mga miyembro sa Langcom nag-atiman usab sa mga sugyot alang sa pagsira sa mga proyekto. Kung aduna kay mga pangutana (pananglitan mahitungod sa posibleng pagpangayo ug bag-ong bersiyon sa pinulongan), palihog idirekta kini sa panid sa pakigpulong o direkta sa bisan kinsang miyembro.
Charter
Kini usa ka proofread nga bersyon sa orihinal nga charter nga adunay ulahi nga amendment nga nagtugot sa pag-apruba sa hangyo.
Sakop
Ang komite adunay mosunod nga mga buluhaton.
- The development and maintenance of:
- a clear step-by-step policy (based on quantitative indicators) for evaluating the feasibility of new language wikis, with an automated procedure for project development;
- support and policy development for script and localization related problems;
- documentation to support new language communities towards a stable growth rate;
- support and coordination for cross-language projects, helping smaller communities share resources and maximize their results;
- support and coordination to maintain compatibility among the different MediaWiki installations, in order to reduce the amount of development needed to upgrade the program base as far as localization is concerned.
- The processing of requests for new language subdomains of existing Wikimedia projects, providing it gives the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees four days advance notice before approving a request.
Goals
The goals of the committee are to:
- minimize the political aspects connected to the release of new projects, moving the focus towards purely quantitative decision criteria;
- minimize the need of localization-related funding and development by providing a common shared policy;
- maximize the reuse of proven marketing techniques among different editions;
- maximize the co-operation level among different language communities by providing common fields of activity;
- achieve the widest possible localization level for MediaWiki at the lowest cost, in order to maintain and improve its leading role as an open-source content management system.
Transparency
- The whole set of activities of the language committee is public, and any advice from the community is welcome.
- The committee values the fact that projects are a property of the single editors who make it and considers users' necessities as the primary source for policy.
- The committee is especially interested in hearing those who proposed a new wiki in the past and got either refused or approved.
Discussions
If you want to make a proposal to the committee, for example to approve a certain project, please do so on the talk page.
Anyone can follow the discussions of the language committee by subscribing to the public mailing list langcom at lists.wikimedia.org, on which the internal proceedings are made. Non-members should generally not participate in discussions. When it is necessary however, they can send a mail which a list administrator will need to accept manually.
Prior to April 2013, the discussions happened on a private mailing list. From June 2011 to April 2013, members of the community could ask to become "langcom observers". They then received copies of the e-mails sent to the internal committee mailing list.
The committee resumed the use of a private mailing list for the discussion of confidential or personal matters in 2017.
