Nice that the web finally has heard about Wikibooks. Also in the Dutch language there is written about us. I've had an interview with an editor of livre (http://www.livre.nl/), a small monthly magazine about all kind of open source. Not a really big magazine (around 3000 readers), but when looking at the size of the Wikibooks in Dutch, it's great. It can be found in Livre 16. (http://www.livre.nl/Content/Headlines/Inhoud_Livre_16_-_oktober_2005_2005082...). The story I'm talking about is the fourth point, which starts with the headline: 'Voor dit soort projecten is internet oorspronkelijk bedoeld' Translated: This kind of projects, is what the internet original was meant for.
It's a pity that you have to register (e-mailadress) to read the full text and yes, the whole story is in Dutch.
Well, since not many people on this list will speak Dutch, this mail might be useless, but I wanted to let you know that more and more people become acquainted with Wikibooks, which is a good signal.
Yours sincerly,
