Ahhh!

Please, no!

Wikijunior's been struggling as it is in getting writers, and we've concentrated only on three subjects. Any sort of specialty encyclopedia isn't going to work, and even if it is, it's going to distract from Wikijunior, my pet, which we *need* to get done before December, or loose US$10000.

My personal preference is just keeping Simple English Wikipedia as is, for learners of the language. There's millions and millions of potential readers, I'll even investigate promoting the site to immigration organizations if we keep it as is.

I'd prefer the project be changed entirely to reflect something more like what was suggested at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids (in all languages). People wanting to write simple versions of existing English Wikipedia articles can focus on simplifying the lead sections of those. Having that on a separate wiki has not proved useful, whereas having something that is written by and for children may be different enough from the main Wikipedia to warrant its own project.
