Hi Milos,
First of all, in my opinion this should not be a discussion about language

everything into detail (we cannot allow...) then you might kill the idea

If it is technically viable, I would love to see some way to create such
projects (standalone or not)
Do we have any data on the resource usage of a creating a new
standalone project? If it's, as I expect, relatively trivial, then
why not make a simplified dutch project? The worst that

Hi,
just to be totally clear: I do not intend to pursue simple Dutch Wikipedia
myself, I only took that as an example of a typical language that is not a
world language etc - for major languages present in many countries/regions
the need can only be higher (simple Spanish, French, Chinese,

would there be a possibility to get pilot space?

Perhaps simple Wikipedia should not be considered as a different language,
but rather as a different project - a simplified Wikipedia. Because the
purpose of simple wikipedia's can be debated of course, but one potential is
to give more people
Another alternative:
