That's gorgeous! I didn't know Simple English wikipedia existed -
thanks for the pointer. Sad that I can only see 'Simple English' --
was hoping for a other major languages to have their simple version
too.

OLPC deployments want a slice of wikipedia in the local language
(though they might be interested in 'simple' versions of other
languages). The CDPedia script can slice and dice any language you ask
it to.

cheers,
