I will use the modified latin alphabeth. Old norse is not so different from modern icelandic and often mistaken as that, but I want to use the same language the one you find in Norwegian texts from the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries. I don't find it more strange than latin, anglo-saxon or a lot of other old langiages. The letters which are not used in modern English are as follows: æ, o, ð and þ (but not ä, ö, ø or å as in modern scandinavian).

*cough*
I'm not sure the current environment is the best place for a request regarding Old Norse. But anyhow, I have a question: will you use the runic script, or the latin script?
Anyhow, my suggestion is that you first write a few articles off-site, and if you can try to find people who will help build the Wikipedia.
