<br><br>At the beginning I was really hesitant to propose this project on these<br>lists - for the simple fact that it could be seen negatively by some,<br>but: it is for a good cause, it is Open Content and it is about a
<br>Wiktionary, even if a very particular one.<br><br>WiktionaryZ is building the contents for a multilingual dictionary for<br>all children in the world - all languages are welcome and that's why<br>this message does not only go to the wiktionary list, but also to
<br>others. Not all projects have wiktionaries and maybe this could be also<br>their first start into lexicology for their very specific language.<br><br>I would like to remind you that the data you provide can be re-used by
<br>your local wiktionary, also uploading it whith the bot, once we have the<br>dump to be provided to OLPC.<br><br>Please find below the original text re. the co-operation. To<br>participate, please create yourself a profile on
<a href="http://wiktionaryz.org">http://wiktionaryz.org</a>,<br>add your babel template and read about the DefinedMeaning<br>(<a href="http://www.wiktionaryz.org/DefinedMeaning">http://www.wiktionaryz.org/DefinedMeaning</a>
). Then tell us or on the wiki<br>or in the chat ( irc://irc.freenode.net/wiktionaryz or<br>irc://irc.freenode.net/wiktionary ) we are present in both of them.<br><br>If you happen to be in a university or in another adeguate place and
<br>have the possibility to put a print-out of the project description on<br>the notice board, please send me a short-mail I will happily send you<br>the pdf. Doing this results in better co-operation with all projects,<br>
since people, who maybe did not consider wikis before do their first<br>edits. The reason why we ask people to send us an e-mail if they are<br>interested in contributing is simple: we want to take them by the hand<br>and show them how to do things. Working on a wiki is not so obvious and
<br>simple as it might seem to us who do it every day.<br><br>I will also try to go around the village pumps of the projects to post<br>the message - of course: you may help me with that - it would be great<br>:-) I am going to update the project page in English during the day:
<br><a href="http://www.wiktionaryz.org/OLPC_Children%27s_Dictionary">http://www.wiktionaryz.org/OLPC_Children%27s_Dictionary</a> - if you have<br>put the message on your wiki, could you pleas leave a short note on the<br>
discussion page for the project?<br><br>Thank you so much for your time and attention and have a wonderful<br>wiki-day :-)<br><br>Sabine<br><br>*****<br>*A Multilingual Dictionary<br>for the Children<br>of Our World<br><br>
