I would suggest that a "child-safe" version of Wikipedia be cloaked with its own domain syntax in a way similar to secure.wikimedia.org. That would allow schools and parents to block the main site while providing access to an alternative that they might find more acceptable. Since domain level filtering is already commonly employed by many software packages I don't think that would be an unreasonable thing to ask. Choosing what filtered views of Wikipedia to provide at a domain level would require some discussion of course as well as some form of social agreement about what content belongs behind the filter. Not easy issues at all, but making a good faith effort to address them would be huge in my mind. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
