* First of all I think going through debian-www/webwml is much too
  heavyweight. Changing something in the wiki takes minutes. Changing
  something via debian-www takes something between minutes and months,
  depending on available eyeballs, luck etc. - it's too much effort and
  waiting. So I'd suggest to completely move it off into the wiki.

* There was some list of some sorts in the wiki, that was based on a
  form-like wiki page, that you could fill out, and once you submitted
  that form, that entry would get added to the list. Unfortunately I
  can't remember which page that was. But I think that would be
  something useful to maintain the Children's Distros page with.
  I *think* the page was maintained/programmed by Paul Wise,
  but I'm not sure, you might want to ping him.

Thanks,
