there are many projects to build an offline wikipedia. the main problem
is that the quality model of wikipedia assumes continuous change ("if
something is wrong, someone will correct it") and any given snapshot can
be full of errors. the offline wikipedia project(s) supported by the
wikimedia foundation are spending a lot of effort in manual quality
screening, which is effort intensive and negates (through duplication)
the essence of wikipedia's quality process.-rishab On Thu, 2007-02-01 at 07:56 -0800, Thaths wrote: > When I asked Jimmy Wales about the possibility of an offline edition > of Wikipedia for parts of the world which do not yet have good access
