My first instincts for de.wikipedia would be to note down de.wikipedia's usage statistics, get a bunch of techies together, and all go have a nice chat with say hetzner.de, to figure out roughly what things will cost. You can always start a bit small and work your way up.
Starting small is *most definitely* the way to go. Citizendium burned through enough funding for *20 years* in three years by ridiculously overestimating their server needs.
Optimism is a key characteristic of those who believe they have a killer site.
