To better manage people's expectations, maybe we should try to come up with good estimates about how long it should take to add new language codes:
Tasks to consider:
* code for monolingual strings
* code for lexemes
* changes in labels for existing codes
Assumptions:
* request is complete with samples
* simple code addition
* basic criteria of langco fulfilled (whatever they may be)
Steps to consider and estimates:
[ ] langco review: TBD (or two weeks without a response). Use "Due Date" feature to set end date.
[ ] ~~Lydia review~~
[ ] coding done by volunteer: (estimate if Mbch331 available) within a week
[ ] coding done by WMDE: TBD
[ ] code review by WMDE: (estimate) within a week:
use tags #Wikidata-Campsite-Iteration-∞ status //peer review// and #Wikidata status //in progress//
[ ] code deployment: (estimate) within a week
[ ] test deployment
Which steps can run parallel ?
Current ranges vary from 1 week to x months even for trivial additions
