Hi Heather!
I've been working on methods for measuring content gaps and showing when
they appeared and were closed.
See
dynamics_in_Wikipedia_and_demonstrating_the_Keilana_Effect for a long-form
discussion of the methods.
I've got a complete dataset of per-article quality assessments for all
articles in English Wikipedia
Halfaker, Aaron; Sarabadani, Amir (2016): Monthly Wikipedia article quality
predictions. figshare.
I'm working hard to get that dataset hosted on Quarry so that it would be
easier experiment with for arbitrary new cross-sections by anyone who is
interested. But we've hit some technical hurdles. See

Great project! Thank you for information.
There is the discussion about the multilingual project name at page 33-34.
I like the name Wikischool :)
Best regards,
Andrew Krizhanovsky.

Hello,
Does it have to be Wikipedia? Wikipedia is a reference work for
"everybody", but not especially written for pupils in the primary
education.
We discussed this kind of issues at the foundation of the Klexikon, see
our
Konzept_Wikipedia_f%C3%BCr_Kinder.pdf
Kind regards,
Ziko
