Fantastic idea. One I'd really like to see put to fruition. I know as a kid I would have taken to the idea immediately.
However, considering this is the WMF discussion list, I don't think it's a feasible project for the the WMF. The Foundation hosts sites that are volunteer community generated and maintained. Such a project would require a full time staff for governance of the community and its relations. Imagine a world in which the sum of all human knowledge is trapped in an edit war between fifth graders. School age is the relavent age for learning social skills; based on what I've seen from online communities in my fifteen years online I'd rather not subject a preteen to a project that wasn't maintained by a professional staff. WikiEducation would need that. My wish is that Mr. Franklin can find a nice benefactor to set up such a non-profit. I'd go to work for them in a heartbeat. -- ~Keegan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Keegan _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
