I don't know their criterion for deciding whether it is objective or not. However I'd say that if you write “DDL is as easy to use as a gaming console” you are not objective. But if you write “DDL *tries* to be as easy to use as a gaming console” you're just transcribing the team will and are not judging the result: this should be considered more objective. Maybe you'd even have to write it more clearly to better conform to objectiveness requirements: “DDL developers want to make DDL as easy to use as a gaming console”. This is what Richard calls the facts.
Concerning developers, yes we're currently only 2 developers. Benheng, our main Chinese contributor, hasn't been active for months. He patched Childsplay in February or March to make it handle Chinese and can be considered as a developer contributor too. Concerning your Wikipedia page, note that even if you collected many pieces of existing text, the synthesis work is good ;). Maybe a section about DDL use at school would be relevant. Unfortunately, although I read here and there that DDL would be installed in a school, I've never received any proof of its use in a scholar environment (eg. photos or articles). You can also add that we are currently setting up a non-profit organization to support the project. The DoudouLinux association is currently being registered in France. As we've already signed the statutes we can consider that the association is already existing :). We'll have an official paper during the coming 10-15 days. We started to speak about its objectives a while ago: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00296.html It can be the base to write the missing paragraph in Wikipedia right now, while waiting for an official definition of the association goals and ways of action. I'll write a dedicated mail on this list anyway. Finally concerning translations, I tend to think that Richard will go faster on English translation than us, since Spanish is quite close to Italian (which I suspected). If you, Salvatore, feel enough at ease with French, I'd prefer you to start a French translation I'll proofread, or Elisa if she finds enough time to do it. Maybe Richard can write a Spanish translation too?
