The first and probably best would be to go to Wikipedia forks such as Wikinfo and mcfly (ok, maybe not mcfly) and tell them how the folks at the Wikimedia organisation are... well, describe your plight. Some forks really hate the Wikimedia foundation and will feel very sorry for you and assist you with such a project, whereas others seem to be meant more to augment Wikipedia and their users still contribute to Wikipedia on a regular basis.

If someone is serious about setting up a wiki and willing to help me figure out the technical details I'd be willing to provide the server space. But apparently Tim Starling is already willing to do this on Wikimedia's servers...
In fact, I'll happily create any wiki if the potential contributors agree in advance to use a language file which is already mature, and that you refrain from requesting interface customisations which require developer attention.

I'd like to create a wiki for for geographical information. I've registered wikiteer.org. Can we set it up?

I'm not sure if what Tim said applies to conlangs as well, would you provide server space for conlangs?
Obviously Tim is willing to create Wikipedias for deadlangs so long as they... well, you know; although he hasn't done so yet, but I'm not sure that applies to conlangs.

Anglo-Saxon as a group is ready to get the go-ahead, just waiting for the domain to be set-up. Articles would come quite quickly.
