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_exclu…
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.
