When can we start adding new simple texts? Seabanks (talk) 08:14, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Well I was thinking we could start out with some simple poetry text from this poet. here is the link to some of her selected poetry. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~ma05/dulis/poetry/Zaturenska/zaturenska2.html thanks Seabanks (talk) 08:27, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * For one, it's not clear that that text is in the public domain, since it's labeled as being from 1938. Secondly, I fail to see why that's particularly simple.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:38, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Suggestion
Can I suggest that Simple could be the entry page, and if you are looking to have a project that we set it up similar to other projects at WikiProject Simple. -- billinghurst (talk) 10:43, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Issues
My major problem with this is the same as my major problem with simple.wikipedia. Of

* using English as a second language * using Screenreaders * are young or elderly * have other problems with access

I only see ESL readers and the young as actually needing simple language in their texts, and I understand one of the big concerns of ESL texts is that ESL readers don't want to read kiddy texts. I'm not sure what the issues with screen readers that are being referred to are, but I don't think they need simple language in their texts.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:53, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
