Hi,
How should be token into consideration the low readability of Wikipedia,
which was pointed out by some recent studies, as far as this device is
devoted to children ?

There is Simple English Wikipedia as far as English is concerned. For
other language, there is the *Wikikids* proposal that has had some
activity recently and 2 or 3 existing and well running wiki for children.
That's about setting a frame pulled after the existing wikis for kids,
to make good work, associate potential editors (including children), and
then (notably ;-)) to supply a WikiReaders4Kids with suitable and
quality content a few years later !
Present step is to assemble a comparison between those existing wikis to
help to work out what should be the basic principles for such a project.
Have a look at it !

Hello everyone,
My partner and I just started a campaign on Indiegogo.com to raise funds to
buy all remaining WikiReaders and distribute them to schools and kids in
places that don't have internet at no charge to the schools and kids.
The campaign is here:

The video is here:

Please consider funding the campaign and if you can't fund the campaign,
please share the link with others!
While I am an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation, I am doing this
entirely as a volunteer.
Thanks!
