Yay!

It was written in a combination of mySQL, PHP, and Python.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to help beta test this or participate in the building (even writing one definition will be a helpful contribution), <a href=\"http:\/\/www.k12opened.com\/wiki\/index.php\/Dictionary_team\" target=\"_blank\">you can sign up here<\/a> or send us an email.<\/p>\n<p>There have been a few days this month when I&#8217;ve wondered if creating a free, open kids dictionary was an overly ambitious project, but mostly it&#8217;s been very rewarding, and I have high hopes that lots of people will participate, and we&#8217;ll produce a great tool for anyone who wants to use it.<\/p>\n<p>The dictionary builder will launch more publicly in late June.
