[Foundation-l] Simple English Wikipedia on xkcd

[Aphaia]

I would like to encourage Simple English Wikipedia fans to blog about
it ... particularly if you are non-English native speakers. The wiki
is just not known. They might know their mother tongue Wikipedia and
English one but not Simplewiki.

Last year I just mentioned to the Simple English Wikipedia just as one
of easy-reading materials for Second Language Acquisition. In a social
bookmark service popular in Japan, perhaps related to my blog entry,
Simplewiki yielded over 50 bookmarks just one day. And if I recall
correctly, one of Simple English Wikipedia virtue is for non-natives
education and convenience? Could we work more aggressively for our
potential readership?
