Hi,

I've just translated a page that I wrote on Vikidia that expound how a Wikikids project can meet the prescriptions of some articles of the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child.
See : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids/Relation_to_the_Rights_of_the_Child (you may correct my translation since my english is not perfect)
I'd like to translate as well another page : http://fr.vikidia.org/wiki/Vikidia:Pour_les_enfants_ou_par_les_enfants_%3F in [[Wikikids/For children or by children ?]]. I think both can help to understand and imagine what such a wiki can be.

I will attend the "Education Program Leaders Workshop 2013" by Wikimedia in Milan on Thursday, April 18. And I offer to make a presentation about the Vikidia/Wikikids project there, as I wrote there : http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipedia_Education_Program/Education_Program_Leaders_Workshop_2013#Wikikids/Vikidia

By the way, I have a figure to give you. Surprisingly Vikidia in spanish, despite having no more real community, has shown the number of unique visitors jump from 25.327 to 80.417 unique visitors a month in one year, that is a 217,51 % progression...
Vikidia in french get 467.943 unique visitors a month (having by contrast a lively and active community).

We had a thread about Wikikis/Vikidia on this mailing list in early February, 2013 (subject : "[Wikimedia Education] Update on Vikidia/Wikikids (was Wikipedia in schools)"), in which Samuel Klein suggested to "Describe a potential schedule for a migration to WMF hosting.  See the history of the Wikivoyage page and the OmegaWiki page for examples."

Your help, reactions questions, and involvement for that are welcomed !

Thanks !
