Wikipedia application for Lingua Franca Nova rejected

Happened four days ago, after over a year of being in limbo (application was September 2007); proof that the internet isn't always faster than real life. Some links:

• Discussion in January on constructed languages
• A tiny bit more discussion on the same topic in November, concludes that "Requests for constructed and historical languages (Wikinews Latina, Wiktionary Muisca, Wikipedia Lingua Franca Nova) were rejected after GerardM retracted his opposition to applying the current policy to them."
• After that the application page for Lingua Franca Nova was updated with news of the rejection,
• and then the "living native speaker requirement" was updated to the policy page.
  

So what will happen now? Lingua Franca Nova will continue to work on its own wiki, and perhaps one day after some conferences in the language are arranged to show the language in action it will be able to apply once again. What would serve the language most in the near future is a series of mp3 files or (even better) videos, showing people speaking in the language. Not just reading out lines, but actually just hanging out and using the language at a coffee shop or somewhere.

My guess is that this will happen in about two years. One more year of hammering out the language and fine-tuning the vocabulary, and then developing whatever resources are needed after that to convince others that LFN is a real language.
