Hello Salvatore, Thank you for this detailed information. Wikipedia's folks are not easy men and women ;). They're certainly right: they want to be *the* online encyclopedia, not the local ad paper sheet!
As a start I invite you to show them how people talk about us using search engines. The following request: http://www.google.fr/#q=doudoulinux is retuning around 332,000 pages as of writing. We haven't written all these pages, and are not using robots either! If you now search for our website ranking: http://stuffgate.com/doudoulinux.org you'll see our good Google rank of 5/10 and that we are the 710,026th website of the world (the latest figures on our private webstats engine is below 550,000 – among 80 millions of websites). It is interesting to compare these figures with the distribution Qimo which already has a page in Wikipedia in 4 languages: http://stuffgate.com/qimo4kids.com They're ranked 5/10 too but number 826,239 in the world only :). > I would ask your help (also becuase I don't know well all about > DoudouLinux communication) to find more than possible references for > DoudouLinux. At the moment probably Xavier is the one that can give > more elements. I propose you use our mail archive and search for all our weekly news letters: https://mail.gna.org/public/doudoulinux-dev/ http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ I always try to include a communication section at the bottom. You'll also find in June, July and maybe August, links to the public mails that showed how we were invited to join the Debian project to take on Debian Junior. > The more important references are: > - articles in printed version and/or services on TVs or radios, and > much more if the authors are of national relevance (isn't important > what country, it's important that is of national relevance in one > country at least); I should be able to find a small printed article published in a French free software magazine one year ago. I know that Sergey had a detailed article published in a Russian free software magazine in April I think. Unfortunately he didn't advertise much about this event on the list. > - articles in websites of national relevance for the DoudouLinux > field, or demonstrations that professionals of the field speak about > it and/or consider it innovative and important/relevant for the field; In Russia an article was published in early November 2010 in a national information website Interfax. On our website, the page “They talk about it…” [1] gives many links, with some nation-wide media publications: in China (CSDN.net), in France (01net), in Vietnam (DailyInfo). The list is missing the recent LWN article mainly I think. [1] http://www.doudoulinux.org/web/english/tell-the-world/article/they-talk-about-it.html > - evidences that some institutions, above all of national relevance, > are using or plan to use DoudouLinux in educational programs; There have been posts on several French National Education websites. The following query returns several links from regional websites of National Education Inspection: http://www.google.fr/#q=doudoulinux+inspection+éducation the most noticeable are Lille, Nice, Montpellier, Grenoble and Versailles (Paris) – but I can't find the link for the latest. > - evidences that at least in one country DoudouLinux it's spreadily > know and used. Hem, Venezuela? Richard, what about Venezuela? > Russian DoudouLinux contributers: > > About the situation of DoudouLinux in Russia, and above all at Tomsk, > what's the situation? Sergey has several contacts, some with schools. I let him answer in detail. > About things that I already know and that I have already spoken to the > wikipedia article: > - about OIN, have documents that prove DoudouLinux was invited and it > is part of the OIN? This is private email communication. I need to first ask our contact, Frank Casey. > - have better link that the ones I gave to show the interest of Debian > for DoudouLinux? (I gave the page of DoudouLinux in the Debian site > and some e-mails of the derivative-list on Debian site). See our weekly news letters. > - what are the very important website of every country that spoke of > DoudouLinux? Have a way to demonstrate the level of importance of that > websites? Several “high” traffic websites talked about us: WebUpd8, MakeTechEasier, Korben info, Framasoft, CSDN.net, 01net, etc. You can probe for website traffic on http://www.visualizetraffic.com/. We are said to see 1,143 daily visitors by VisualizeTraffic. > Tank you to all of you for taking the time to help me to answer that > questions. Keep cool :).
