The kids open dictionary<\/a> has produced many interesting statistics to examine. The first stage<\/a> of producing a word list led to a look at how many words are in a “good” dictionary, how many words have gone out of common usage, and how many new ones have come in.<\/p>\n

Now that our word list is relatively set and people have been adding definitions for a month or so, I’ve been eager to see numbers on how many words have been defined (at least as a start; the ultimate metric will be how many are complete and quality-checked or frozen). I’ve been simultaneously eager and afraid to see this number as I’ve tried to figure out how long it might take to produce a high-quality dictionary for kids through mass collaboration (and if I’ll live that long).<\/p>\n

Well, the counter is up<\/a>, and in just a little over a month, we already have definitions for over 7% of our words. That is so exciting (and makes me hopeful that our goal will be accomplished sooner rather than later).<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who has contributed, and if you haven’t, stop by, and add a definition or two<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
