Reminded today of how beautifully this kids encyclopedia has worked out:
Txikipedia:Azala (main page),  Txikipedia:Gengis_Khan 

More languages should try that.   a) simple skin hack, b) loving and lovely idea, c) more compelling to me than the standalone kidipedia projects :)   Anyway, thanks for improving my weekend, Txikipedians.   SJ
