mo.wp has 401 articles, most of them stubs and substubs. None of the 
articles has been updated since 4 years. It's hardly a useful educative 
resource for anybody. If Romanians oppose an on-wiki conversion (a claim 
I can hardly contest) we can create a solution with more distance. 
Instead of the on-wiki solution with tabs we can create ro-cyrl as a 
wiki that mirrors ro.wps contents but is read-only and has Cyrillic 
conversion by default. That way ro.wp keeps the same and the 
Transnistrians get access to the full body of contents on ro.wp. The 
results won't be perfect if ro.wp doesn't use the conversion syntax e.g. 
for marking foreign names, but it'll be better than the current content 
of mo.wp for sure.
