In fact it is important to note that adults are also fully involved in the project and they even have their own dedicated portal on the wiki. I mean, our users are not *only* children, and furthermore, the collaboration between the latter and adults is an important component of Wikimini. >From a safety standpoint it should also be noted that unlike many other >community websites and services aimed at children (think of chat systems, >message boards, online games, virtual worlds, social networks...) there is no >way to engage in private exchanges with other users on Wikimini. Moreover the >email functionality has been deactivated.

Are there any children oriented wikis in other languages?

For those who don't know our project, Wikimini is a free encyclopedia written by children and young teenagers, both at school and at home. It currently exists in French and the site is based on Mediawiki (same software used by Wikipedia). Word cloud: On this very special occasion, our aspiring encyclopedists were asked to choose 3 words that would best describe the project in their eyes. A word cloud was built using the words we had received and their frequency. I wanted to share it with you, so I translated it in English: ==> http://stock.wikimini.org/w/images/7/7c/EN-Wikimini_in_75_words.png I hope you'll find it interesting and inspiring.
