This appears to be one of those things that is happening in the world all at once. People must begin to think for themselves again. This has been lost to a large degree because of the exploitation of the limitations of radio and television. Goodbye one way street!

Traduwiki is a project that intends to promote great articles to broader international audience. The process is simple and pretty straight forward. Each text is broken into smaller chunks. Users collaborate on the translations like in any other wikis. They can pick the text portions they'd like and can translate. Chunks are then put back together to form the translated text. This way, users wouldn't get bored too quickly or feel the pain to translate a long text by themselves. Currently, Spanish and Russian users are the most active, but the French translators are coming faster than expected. As the project mainly deals with texts under an open source or Creative Commons licenses, I wonder if you would agree to have your article on the site. Translated articles will be under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license. I hope you would agree. What do you think? Hello Ellyssa,

The authors provide advice on a variety of subjects. Some of this advice is very professional and helpful. This advice is far better than paid professional advice on occasions.

Thanks you SO much for posting it. I will be reading and thinking about it this week while I am on a break. I was tracking information on this topic on my own blog. In looking over the post, I realized that I had some private info on there. So I removed it. Hopefully in the next few days I will be able to make it "presentable" again and put it back. Thanks again for the post. It is extremely helpful to those charged with teaching students how to evaluate what they read.
