Hi, Erik. I have taken a look at OmegaWiki. Someone in the OLPC
content group referred me there. It looked interesting to me, but more
of a tool for various language translations I thought. Let me know if
I'm incorrect, and I'll take another look at it as well.

I'm interested in your thoughts on the kids' dictionary being a part
of Wikijunior. I have mixed thoughts on this (see 
http://www.k12opened.com/blog/archives/43)
but I am really trying to help spread the word about Wikijunior as a
resource to educators and think this could help.
