Dear Wouter,
I can't help but disagree. In my opinion, using Proto-Indo-European for the new
Wikipedia is the only viable option. Additional benefit: we could finally close many
redundant editions of Wikipedia like en:, fr:, es: ....

Dear fellow list subscribers,
After a few very nasty e-mails, overseeing the battle field, I cannot
conclude but that no-one will change his view by someone else's arguments.
Therefor we should not bother to meet inbetween, but rather on neutral
ground: let us return to where it all begun. We can eliminate both most
spelling and most dialectical differences by... returning to Old Saxon. This
strong sonorous language will unite the fierce but noble people of the
Saxons which have been suppressed by Francs for far too long.
Latad uns farenigan undar thia sprakô, thia lang lidan ena was. Îs, Sachson,
siad fardelad thur Frankon ewan lang, enda thur hart farenigadat duvoliskit
werk wîs nu siad fardelid tot op tha bena. Ni langar sallad sî uns
undardrukan: Vî, dat adelt folk, gad wêrum nah unsaron brunnon en herstellad
allat hwat so lang fargetan, farnederad enda undardrukad is. Lang livad
Sachson, lang liva Sachsa sprako. Enda nu, makad ena nija Wikipedia for
unsara gedachta utwerkon konnon!
Iar bestar friond Wouter.
