GLEP 39 defines a project as "a group of developers working towards a
goal". 

I don't see what we would gain by collecting several unrelated
projects under an umbrella TLP. Are there any resources that can be
shared, or is there a large overlap between devs working in the
different language projects? In short, what problem are you trying to
solve?
