Hi
This is just a heads-up that the Wikijunior project has moved to its natural home on Wikibooks. To remind everyone, the project is intended to produce colorful, child-friendly books about important topics that are also of interest to kids ages 7-12. We are in the earliest stages of getting the project off the ground, and would be glad to hear your ideas, suggestions, comments, criticisms (okay, maybe not criticisms), and everything else you have to say.
We are also eager to find graphic artists, illustrators, and cartoonists to help make these books as appealing as possible.
While we are working on these books in English, we plan on having parallel series in various languages. Especially important now are French and Spanish, though other languages are also possible. There may be some grant money available to produce similar projects in minority languages.
Finally, the best judges of these booklets will be kids. If you have kids--or if you can borrow, buy, or steal a kid for a couple of hours--ask them what they think about the projects as they evolve. What would they like to see? What do they like? What do they dislike? They are probably a lot more astute when it comes to things like this than a bunch of adults.
