Nice that the web finally has heard about Wikibooks.
Also in the Dutch language there is written about us.
I've had an interview with an editor of livre (
http://www.livre.nl/), a
small monthly magazine about all kind of open source. Not a really big
magazine (around 3000 readers), but when looking at the size of the
Wikibooks in Dutch, it's great.
It can be found in Livre 16.
(
http://www.livre.nl/Content/Headlines/Inhoud_Livre_16_-_oktober_2005_200508…).
The story I'm talking about is the fourth point, which starts with the
headline:
'Voor dit soort projecten is internet oorspronkelijk bedoeld'
Translated: This kind of projects, is what the internet original was meant
for.
It's a pity that you have to register (e-mailadress) to read the full text
and yes, the whole story is in Dutch.
Well, since not many people on this list will speak Dutch, this mail might
be useless, but I wanted to let you know that more and more people become
acquainted with Wikibooks, which is a good signal.
Yours sincerly,
Koos Jol
