Since Võro is already being edited as part of the Test-wp on meta, I
don't think a separate site would help here.

Please don't do this. Violating the Foundation's trademarks is hardly
a good start to getting your wiki accepted within the project. If it
needs to be off-site, you should choose another name for it until it
is officially a Wikipedia.

Is there actually any objection to Võro being created now at fiu-vro?
