I am familiar with Russenorsk, but I must admit that I have never heard of
Sino-Russian? What kind of language is that? Googling didn't help me much, but
I'm quite eager to see some examples.

That's a nasty question! Of course I would be interested to see it, but I like
your other projects, too - as far as I know them. It would have been easy if
you had asked: "Should I work in my Russian-based pidgin or go fishing?", but
in this case ...
It would be a pidgin between Russian and... what?
