This is right, you have just explained the topic in a better way that I did,
but the first thing that will be required is to get the websites (or
free/open content). Only then can we plan to distribute it.
Offline interenet is not the only portion that will exist on these CD's but
will be approx 98% of the content of these CD's, Other content may include a
few books which some authors might like to contribute but are not willing to
put it up on the Internet.
