I will discuss this project with a number of our library staff on Monday and Tuesday. And we will hopefully get one of our children's book clubs to participate. (aged 12-13 years, is that the age of your children?) Hopefully I will have some good news by Wednesday or Thursday.
What a good idea to do a video and put it on Youtube and include it on the blog! It will be exciting for the kids to see each other on video, they then become more than just names on a page.
I like the idea of collaborating on a wiki, but I need to think it through some more. I will revisit the idea when I get a chance. Soon I hope.

Actually I begun the first steps with the children, they start their blogs and building encyclopedia chose children with a major theme of science and public health, which of course in Arabic to have an experiment to deal with encyclopedias, writing and editing process

The second step would be to build encyclopedia in the English language and the topic will be proposed is different cultures
I am waiting you propose cooperation projects

I am happy to communicate with you and with other wonderful people I met here, but sad or could say I am disappointed, I sent this invitation for 3 days ago to several friends, the Arabs and non-Arabs. I received many responses from non-Arab friends, What was frustrating that there is no one friend Arab bestirred himself to say thank you at least.
Are we, the Arabs, can not read or have we forgotten the language of communication or we are accustomed negative attitudes
Thanks Lo
Concerning blog comments. It takes a little time to get your blog known. You have already got many advises how to spread information. I have been blogging for quite a time and still get few comments. Many people just want to read and don't comment. For some people that is a step letting others know what you think so public.
don't stop writing, and don't give up. Maybe we have to engage the old tools a little in order to get people using the new tools! I mean e-mail, letter post, word of mouth, a phone call or two. It could be that the Arab librarians you are trying to engage with are not in this 'space' yet. If you can get their e-mail addresses or th e-mails of the various Arab libraries, you could send them a message and tell them about your blog and how it might benefit them to use it. Use the personal touch with Arab librarians you might know or have met. Challenge them a little with posts on topics that might raise emotions if not tempers. About what we do, about our relevance, for example. Write posts that encourage and invite them to share their knowledge with their arab colleagues across the middle east. Something that might enthuse them. I cannot read arabic I'm sorry to say, maybe you are doing these things already. Forgive me if you are, I can guess from your writing here that you know what you are doing and are very motivated in doing it. Does lose heart.
Cheers, Ed
p.s.
My experience with colleagues is equally frustrating, they are reluctant to use new technologies. It is only about four years ago that I spent a lot of time getting them to standardise on e-mail as the primary tool for internal communication! But I realise that one of the most important battls to win is to show that library 2.0 is relevant, indeed essential. Easy for the converted to say, but we are in the minority stil I think.
Believe me, I tried to do something , I create my first blog, entitled Arab libraries.
http://arablibrarian.wordpress.com/
I wrote a variety of topics, from libraries, the Internet and Web 2.0
It was useless, no one comment , no interactive
What do I do? Do I stop writing
I will continue to write
On day will move the stagnant waters
