Hi Mathias, I've read the terms of your proposal and they seem very reasonable to me.

I think it would be a good idea to have Wikikids as a sister project. There really exist paper enciclopedies for children and they are so different than the geeneral ones. It would really be a good resource for schools (as a

In catalan, we have eduwiki available: http://www.eduwiki.cat http://www.eduwiki.cat/ which could be a good source for the future catalan wikikids.

Good luck with your project!

Thanks! However it should not be considered as *my* project, especially when it's a matter of opening some Wikikids in new languages! :-) I've recently translated in English "Documentation and Vikidia - the Freinet ideas with the internet and the wikis", a text that was written by someone that have been working with Célestin Freinet and was involved in the documentary (printed) resources of his pedagogical movement: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids:Documentation_and_Vikidia (It was translated in Spanish before, you will find the link on the page)

Hi,

We've been refining some points of the Wikikids
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids> proposal for a new
Wikimedia Foundation Sister Project<http://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!
