Hey
So I am in touch with the Wikikids.nl folks through my Kennisnet activities and I pointed them towards this list in the past (so not sure if they are here or not).
I do know that they are exploring opportunities with regards to WMF hosting, or getting support from the Dutch chapter. Not sure which way they decided to go (I don't think they have made a choice yet)
I would say that if they decided not to join and not to be hosted bt the WMF, we could still work together and make interlanguage links (just as we do right now actually, it would definitely not be appropriate to make a fork in dutch if they don't ask for it...) We could do it with grundschulwiki http://grundschulwiki.zum.de/ (well, after getting in touch with the people in charge) because their way to administer the wiki is pretty far from ours (this wiki is intended for identified schools only if I know well). The biggest issue in my opinion would be how to deal with Simple English Wikipedia.

Mathias,
Two suggestions:
- Get some input from people involved in Vikidia-es and -it,
wikikids.nl, and the Grundschulwiki. I don't think anyone else would want to use that name if the existing Dutch group didn't want to join.
- Describe a potential schedule for a migration to WMF hosting. See
the history of the Wikivoyage page and the OmegaWiki page for examples.
Ok, thanks, It might be a way to get new supporters.

Nice to see this thread. I've been thinking about Vikidia recenntly.
And Mathias, while I've said it elsewhere, I am glad that you have recently been updating that proposal page on Meta. It is a natural candidate to be a sister project - and at least to get some cross-project publicity (which can help build a project's contributor base, to make it easier for it to become one).
Regards, Sam.
Thanks Samuel !
I would be glad to know what are the next steps you would think are the most opportune for that. Is it to gather more material, texts to write or translate to let understand better what the project is about ?
