Wouter, I disagree. Old Saxon is, in my belief, mutually comprehensible with all other early West Germanic languages. We should thus use Common West Germanic. Though not attested, with a little effort we should be able to write in it.
Old Low West Germanic, bien entendu. Old High German /is/ attested and quite different. I could contribute in Old Maastrichtian, attested in the Wachtendonck Psalms. We could thus join the request for a Wikipedia in Old Norse, reinforce the dormant Gothic one and work together with the Anglo-Saxon edition. When all this succeeds, and other projects like Old Irish, Troubadourish (Middle Provençal), Vulgar Latin, Church Slavonic, Old Greek (Homeric? Classical? Koine?) etc. Wikipedias are created in the mean time, we can request a PIE Wikipedia, reconstructing the language by what is known and enhancing it with adapted borrowings from Classical and modern languages. That's what i call back to your roots!
Wouter
