First, I want to thank to Tim who created the project [1] today.
Tomorrow is the main cultural event for Meadow Maris and they will
have Wikipedia for that day. Because of that, I asked the Board and
WMF tech staff to create the project more quickly than usually.

Meadow Mari [2] is one of three Finnic languages spoken by Mari people
in Russia. All three languages have somewhat more than 600.000
speakers.

This is lovely! I know it has been under discussion for quite some
time, congratulations. Will there be coverage of the cultural event
on the new project? -sj

Yes. Right. I misread ISO 639-3 codes:
* chm – Mari (Russia)
* mhr – Eastern Mari
* mrj – Western Mari

I hope so, but I don't have any information about that.

I am glad to see that opening of Meadow Mari Wikipedia at right time
matters: http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AMillosh&diff=1556460&oldid=1540013

I'll ask Sai to write something about their event here.

I don't want to spoil the fun, but I still get a "Wiki does not exist"
message on that URL.

Ah, bad Tim. He opened it just for me ;) I think that it is a DNS
problem. It is working for me since Tim resolved the bug.

It is working for me now. No idea whether that is because something
has changed in the meantime (DNS might well be the reason, it's not
uncommon for that to take a few hours to settle) or because I am now
using another internet connection.

Sounds like a bargain. But I think we have laws about conduct in the
workplace here in the UK that may preclude this business model,
unfortunately.
