I think we could make it wider, and make a PR for third age (does this idioms exist in english?) about projects like wikibooks, wiktionary and wikisource. I think this is the three project in wich they would be interested.

We need to come up with some sort of Press release for Wikibooks to encourage participation.
Senior citizens are the fastest growing segment of the Internet community (at least in the United States), and retirees have a lot of free time and a wealth of original knowledge.
This segment is probably better suited for helping to grow projects like Wikibooks, where first-hand knowledge is much more appreciated than at Wikipedia, which requires external sources.
Thoughts?

Hey all,
Sandy has asked that we don't discuss like this on the list... I think this is a very useful way of discussing this particular issue: Sandy, are you okay with us doing this?
Thanks, Sean
