Hi,
I've just translated a page that I wrote on Vikidia that expound how a
Wikikids project can meet the prescriptions of some articles of the 1989
Convention on the Rights of the Child.
See :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids/Relation_to_the_Rights_of_the_Child
(you may correct my translation since my english is not perfect)
I'd like to translate as well another page :
http://fr.vikidia.org/wiki/Vikidia:Pour_les_enfants_ou_par_les_enfants_%3F
in [[Wikikids/For children or by children ?]]. I think both can help to
understand and imagine what such a wiki can be.
I will attend the "Education Program Leaders Workshop 2013" by Wikimedia
in Milan on Thursday, April 18. And I offer to make a presentation about
the Vikidia/Wikikids project there, as I wrote there :
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipedia_Education_Program/Educati…
By the way, I have a figure to give you. Surprisingly Vikidia in
spanish, despite having no more real community, has shown the number of
unique visitors jump from 25.327 to 80.417 unique visitors a month in
one year, that is a 217,51 % progression...
Vikidia in french get 467.943 unique visitors a month (having by
contrast a lively and active community).
We had a thread about Wikikis/Vikidia on this mailing list in early
February, 2013 (subject : "[Wikimedia Education] Update on
Vikidia/Wikikids (was Wikipedia in schools)"), in which Samuel Klein
suggested to "Describe a potential schedule for a migration to WMF
hosting. See the history of the Wikivoyage page and the OmegaWiki page
for examples."
Your help, reactions questions, and involvement for that are welcomed !
Thanks !
