Luca, thank you very much for connecting me with a Sardinian editor,
who has described to me the situation in detail.
In short, there are two distinctive enough varieties of Sardinian (in
other words, ISO 639-3 describes reality) and one standard imposed by
Italian government, which used "elephant in the room" approach.
The events are quite recent and I suggest the following approach:
1) Allowing Wikipedia and other projects in Campidanese [1] and
Logudorese Sardinian [2] (when requested). I would make an exception
for Wikisource and ask the community to work on one project.
2) Keeping
sc.wikipedia.org presently for so called "Limba Sarda
Comuna" [3] (link to the article on Italian Wikipedia), the 2006
standard, which is a kind of mix of the two language varieties. It
seems that it won't survive, as the trends are, actually, to create
two standards. If the unified standard fails in the next 10 years,
close Wikipedia.
Deadline for objections for eligible status of Campidanese Sardinian
Wikipedia is March 1st.

Hey Milos, I can put you in contact with a couple of
Sardinian users,
who can be surely more helpful than me. :)

Hey, Luca, may you (or somebody else from WM IT)
find for us an
Italian linguist specialized in Romance language and able to give us
recommendations in relation to the Campidanese Sardinian (and other
Italian languages)?
