People have been telling the new contributors about the Nynorsk
Wikipedia, I hope? It would be a shame to have these people donate
heaps of effort writing articles in Nynorsk for no: when they could be
doing it at nn: where they would fit in better.

I'm still curious re: Riksmal and Hognorsk.

Mark, the Bokmål-Wikipedia includes Riksmål. There is an ongoing vote to
decide the name used in language links, which may or may not include
Riksmål; no matter how that turns out, Riksmål is welcomed.
Høgnorsk is still welcomed on nn:; there are only a few hundred users of
Høgnorsk, and although one or two of those found their way to Wikipedia,
there hasn't been any contributions in the last months, as far as I can
tell.
I might also add that the accepted policy on no: is to not aggressively go
after articles in Nynorsk and translating them to Bokmål. In fact, several
contributions have been made in Nynorsk after the new language policy was
decided upon, and no one has been yelling about it. It's more a matter of
having the right to translate them if you're a Bokmål or Riksmål user and
want to work on the articles (ensuring first that the Nynorsk version or a
better version exists at nn:), and to use Bokmål/Riksmål for all article
names and Bokmål for category names (it's accepted that categories should be
in the majority form, since redirects don't work for categories). If we can
keep things this way, it won't be as much a ban against Nynorsk on no: as a
guarantee that where a Nynorsk article exists at nn:, there can also be a
Bokmål article at no:.
