I would like to strongly echo Susan Dubin's "yes, yes" about the need for a printed and electronic Jewish children's encyclopedia, as well as one aimed at middle school children. Wikipedia is nice, but from a librarian's point of view, not necessarily a vetted or reliable source, and it's language is still above the level of most children.
I would see a potential market not only for schools but also from parents. Please think about creating one.
