Hi,
We've been refining some points of the Wikikids http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids proposal for a new Wikimedia Foundation Sister Projecthttp://fr.vikidia.org. We have fixed and added some points on Wikikids/For children or by children ? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids/For_children_or_by_children_%3F and Wikikids/Questions and answers http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids/Questions_and_answers
Current step must be to work on the Wikikids#Project plan and potential schedule for the proposal http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids#Project_plan_and_potential_schedule_for_the_proposal, and within it, establishing the basic principles and rules for the wikis to open or adopt, and set up a requests for comment.
Beside the "knowledge resource" benefit of such a project, it would certainly also expand the opportunities for the wiki education programs. I mean it can enable to reach younger pupils, that will learn not only from the content of such a Wikikids and about its functioning, but by the way about the functioning of a resource they will use extensively few years later: Wikipedia :-) .
Indeed, this proposal critically needs your remarks, questions, criticisms, support (#People interested) and help/involvement if you think it deserves it!
