The wikijunior stuff is like a zoobooks online. I wouldn't consider it "curriculum". It could be used to enhance curriculum.
If the quote I gave from Mr. Wales is no longer valid, then someone should go out and update at least Lessig's website to reflect that. It sure mislead me!
This: "The second thing that will be free is a complete curriculum (in all languages) from Kindergarten through the University level." - Jimbo Wales
Is certainly different than this: "However, if we define a textbook as 'an instructional book to accompany a course of learning', we really have a lot of latitude." - Whitworth
Again, if wikibooks does not include curriculum, then it would be helpful if Mr. Wales wrote some sort of article to redefine, restate, or retract what he said.

Please, continue the conversation. I'm just tired of my email filter getting confused with each of this list's email and took [Foundation-l] out of the subject line.
