Just to add one personal note: Four requests [1][2][3][4] for Simple German Wikipedia have influence on my position. As I said on LangCom list, I am personally opposed to the projects in simple languages, as, out of English one, their purpose tend to be censored "family friendly" projects. Including the request for the request in Simple German. However, if there is a valid community which aims to create educational project -- encyclopedia, to be precise --, I don't think that we have right to forbid them that.
