One would argue that putting in horse stables 100 years ago was a smart move, as people use horses. You can't know that someone's going to up and invent the car. Likewise: making content available offline is a smart move because, surprise, not everybody is online. Nor does it seem like the whole world will be in our lifetimes, barring someone inventing "the internet that anyone can access." -Chad -Chad _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
