Ocetalo,
As I said, I feel that this 'kidscape' thing is a good idea. I'd help with whatever parts of implementing the idea that I could. I do technical editing, writing, and illustration, and cartooning. And I translate, but only into English (I do Chinese, German, and Spanish into English).
Another thing is related to how the Inkscape project would approach the problem of marketing a childrens version. In my opinion, a little research into how those users would use such a version, and how the project should go about trying to promote the new version to those users (I'd imagine that your network might well become a part of that), would be most important.
There is a feature or enhancement request pipeline that the organizers of this e-mail forum occasionally tell users about, but I don't know anything about how to access it. I would suppose that somebody might have suggested such an interesting and provocative idea before - probably not, though.

That's it, thanks Jim! I forgot offering my work for translating (into Spanish) and distributing (I've collaborated with Kidlink which is one of the largest worldwide kid nets).
