Ukraine situation - helping out
We are hosting a Ukraine family and help out in the community. They need books to learn English as Russian speakers. I did some searching with Ukraine, English language for Russian speakers, but didn't really find anything usefull. We have no wikibooks for that? Wouldn't it be interesting to start a Ukraine project page to centralise questions and get things organised? Thy, --SvenAERTS (discuss • contribs) 12:41, 12 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi. I think the obvious place to hold this would be either Заглавная_страница or Головна сторінка, i.e. Russian or Ukranian language Wikibooks. On this wiki we focus on books in the English language. We do have Russian, but this is geared for English speakers learning Russian rather than the other way around. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 13:25, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi. Thy. And the [Wikibooks:Reading_room/Projects] page? A landing page for coordinating this Ukraine situation could be a project page?
 * With some links to indeed here on the WikiBooks, but also to other open source projects and video tutorials like the Anki app for accelerated memorisation and anki eFlashcard Decks Ukranian-Russian-English-host country language, Youtube, ... ?

 * Well you are welcome to create a fleshed-out proposal for community approval. But be aware of our policy page What is Wikibooks. Our mission is to provide open-content textbooks in the English language, anything outside this would require very careful consideration. -- Jules (Mrjulesd) 01:45, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree that it's hard to think of how we would frame this book, since anyone reading here would already know English. There has been a simple English project, but it was closed. It's maybe mildly offensive, but we also have WikiJunior, which is aimed at children, but content could be useful for someone with limited English skills, too. I'm happy to help how I can. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:05, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
