Re: Wikijunior News and Notes

Your work on Wikijunior has been commendable, Xixtas, and I think that this 
is another expression of the renaissance that the entire Wikibooks project 
is going through. It is neither a quick nor easy process, certainly, but it 
is happening none-the-less.

I will certainly weigh in with my two cents on the pages that you linked to, 
for what my opinion on those matters are worth. Wikijunior is an admirable 
project, and all of Wikibooks will benefit from your improvements.
