Can't the "moldavian" wikipedia (
http://mo.wikipedia.org/ ) be used
temporarly? (of course the domain name should be changed, but as
it is currently unused it may be a good idea to use it temporarly
instead of the romanian one, particularly in the case where some article
names may overlap, and for all the technical (Wikipedia:) namespace,
by using temporarly an unused (and probably one that will never be used
anyway) wikipedia the only constraint will be to keep a warning text
on the main page; all the other pages could freely be modified and
adapted at will without fear of any conflict.
And then, switching to a "real" Aromanian wikipedia would involve
only a change in the DNS, no need to move/copy articles around.
On the other hand, UTF-8 should be more than ok for
this language as far
as technical concerns go.
UTF-8 should be the default for any new wikipedia; not using UTF-8 would
be a mistake, which will lead to problems (like it is the case in the
English wikipedia)
