Erik/ Martin,
We are proposing the following Q&A to accompany the press release (which has been moved to Tues after the UK public holiday weekend):
Question: What exactly is the relationship between this and the Release Version 0.5, 0.7 etc.?
We work very closely with the Release Version team. We launched our first children's Wikipedia CD a year ahead of 0.5, but their process for identifying and reviewing articles was much more thorough. We think our clean-up script and database is better, but their word index is certainly better. We are quite keen to maintain a "children-orientated" flavour to these selections and there is discussion going on with merging our project into Wikiproject Release 1.0, when it comes out in a year or two. Wikimedia board member *Erik Möller * has suggested that we tag child-related editorial decisions in our script so that we can produce Release 1.0 and a children's release at the same time. This makes a lot of sense and we are looking at it technically.
I have put an updates/additions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_CD_Selection/additions_and_... which I will use as the master list for new articles and updates.
The current list of section excludes is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_CD_Selection/section_exclud... including at the top the exclude from all articles if you are happy with the syntax

Personally I am more than happy putting it back on the project pages; we can pick lists up from anywhere into the database. Implementing the tagging I will put on a todo list for now as there are various other bits I am keen to fix first. In practice there is always the 0.5 version which is uncensored if anyone really wants something more liberal for their kids...
OK, as long as it's something that eventually gets done .. please let me know when & I'll try to help.
