Exactly. I think naming is everything. "Simple English", to me, sounds silly, and an invitation to participate in it can even be regarded as slightly condescending. If it had instead been called "Children's Wikipedia", I would be much more willing to participate.
On the Requests site, someone dropped a similar critical note, proposing a Wikijunior project. Moreover, this was the original aim of the proposer, wasn't it? What about trying to reanimate the simple-project by mutation simple.wikipedia.org into en.wikijunior.org and creating a website de.wikijunior.org rather than einfach.wikipedia.org?
I propose that we try to raise these two wikijunior projects to adulthood first, since too many projects at once will lead to a certain chaos. On the other hand, it's just children who are usually unable to read another language than their native one, of course.
