Dear Serbian/English Wikipedia
My name is Vojin Vidanovic, I am a graduated social worker. Currently I am working with my father prof Ivan Vidanovic, Ph D, on first Serbian Dictionary of social work, which will be published to celebrate 50 years of this profession in Serbia.
As a Wikipedia fan (user rastavox) I have decided to input for all important terms links to Wikipedia in Dictionary (from English Wikipedia) as most relevant Internet links availiable and also great sources of further links.
As an example I am sending first 100 pages of working version so you could gain insight (for english readers, just translations and links are making some point) Vocabulary is currently being corrected and in DTP process.
I consider also that Vocabulary can earn a Wikipedia logo inside, or that some of the following ideas might be considered: a.. That Dictionary gains a right to put a Wikipedia commercial as whole project, plus Wikipedia in Serbian. If you agree, please send me a standard version, if it exists. b.. That Wikipedia, altough charitable and non-profit concept, should promote or donate Dictionary or help finding donors for printing c.. That Dictionary, after being sold at least one year (no late then automn 2007) "donates" its contents to a Serbian Wikipedia, which would great a great base of unique developed and professionaly written terms, confronting concept of "just translating English articles". Off course it would be nice that author, prof dr Ivan Vidanovic is "entitled" as one of the Serbian Wikipedia "donors" since Dictionary took several years of his work I hope we can find some modus of cooperation,

Draga srpska i engleska Wikipedijo,
Moje ime je Vojin Vidanovic, po struci sam dipl. socijalni radnik i trenutno sa svojim ocem, dr. Ivanom Vidanovicem, radim na prvom srpskom recniku Socijalnog rada, koji ce izaci ove godine, a povodom 50 godina ove struke kod nas.
Kao fan "Wikipedije" (user rastavox) odlucio sam se da za sve vaznije pojmove postavim linkove ka Wikipediji (engl. izdanje) kao najrelevatnijim Internet linkovima sa dosta informacija i daljih linkova. Kao primer vam prosledjujem prvih 100 strana radne verzije, kako bi stekli uvid u koncepciju i sadrzaj Recnika. Recnik je u fazi leksikografske obrade i pripreme za stampu.
Smatram da bi bilo lepo da Recnik ponese Wikipedijin logo a da se razmotri neka od sledecih ideja:
a.. Da Recnik obavezno dobije pravo da postavi reklamu za Wikipediju uopste, i srpsku Wikipediju. Molim vas da prosledite standardnu verziju, ukoliko ona postoji b.. Da Wikipedija, ukoliko joj to njen neprofitni karakter dozvoli, bude promoter izdanja i/ili donator dela prvog izdanja ili da pomogne nalazenje donatora c.. Da Recnik po rasprodaji prvog izdanja (a najkasnije u jesen 2007) "donira" sopstveni sadrzaj srpskoj Wikipediji cime bi se dobio veliki broj unikatno razvijenih i strucno napisanih pojmova, umesto dosadasnje koncepcije prevodjenja engleskih clanaka. Naravno, lepo bi bilo da se autor recnika prof dr Ivan Vidanovic "proglasi" jednim od donatora spske Wikipedije, jer je u pitanju visegodisnji rad. Nadam se daljoj saradnji
