If it did work, Wikipedia would suddenly become
the source of 99% of
extant Gothic texts, which would be somewhat interesting.
Perhaps the Gothic writers could start off with Wikisource. Various
technical issues could be worked out there (encoding, font, spelling).
Just annotating the texts in Gothic could be a small, yet
unprecedented (?) step toward more original writing.

Another good place to start is wiktionary; to me artificial or dead
languages make themselves more credible if a wikipedia customer can find
what the words actually mean. I would propose that a minimum of say 1500
of the most used words have entries in one wiktionary. After this is
done, the people who propose a new wikipedia have proven themselves to
be serious by giving our users a change to understand what is says.
