finding relevant pedagogues who would lead child contributors.
That's a fine idea. Also finding active middle- and high-school students interested in leading such a project. There are some examples already, from the Grundschul wiki to the Children's Encyclopedia of Women, of specific groups of students starting a project intended to be a global space to collaborate.
Yes.
My main point is that creating such project is not creating "just another Wikimedia project", as it needs much more efforts than just opening a project.
I am not happy to approve new Wikinews project at LangCom because I know how hard is to keep it alive. I would really like to include recommendations from Wikinews community as mandatory for creating a new project. But, at last, I can say that I don't care. If someone wants Wikinews, it is about her or him.
But, there is no chance that I would be willing to approve any Wikijunior project without relevant experts who would lead such project. My personal responsibility for creating a Wikijunior project would be much higher than for creating a Wikinews project.
