Hi everyone,

Last year, I got in touch with a programmer currently located in India who
works for Microsoft. His team developed a DVD-video of the Wikipedia for
Schools fork.

http://www.sos-schools.org/wikipedia-for-schools

The dvd plays on a normal dvd player and a TV. The dvd could be made
available as a disk image torrent file that anyone could burn to a
dual-layer DVD, and sell in any kiosk around the world.

The DVD hasn't been released because of the liability issues with content
that his employer (Microsoft) is concerned about, and unwilling to go out
on a limb on. Other than that, he tells me that his team is totally into
sharing this with the world.

I just received a copy of this DVD and its a clunky prototype, but it works
on my computer as a video-DVD. Unfortunately my home blu-ray player doesn't
recognize the DVD +R DL format.

Thought I should share this with you all :)
