OLPC: A dictionary for all children in the world

Good morning!

At the beginning I was really hesitant to propose this project on these 
lists - for the simple fact that it could be seen negatively by some, 
but: it is for a good cause, it is Open Content and it is about a

If you happen to be in a university or in another adeguate place and 
have the possibility to put a print-out of the project description on 
the notice board, please send me a short-mail I will happily send you 
the pdf. Doing this results in better co-operation with all projects, 
since people, who maybe did not consider wikis before do their first 
edits. The reason why we ask people to send us an e-mail if they are
