Not being able to find anything. Can anyone help in how to go > about getting one set up? I'm working on this with Andrew Cates (User:BozMo) - the driver behind the original Wikipedia for Schools. He gave a list of all the the articles in Excel so it's a little messy and doesn't have links. I tried to clean it up a bit, but it still needs some more work and definitely isn't as useful as it should be: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Content_Development/Schools
As I think you all know, they are working on a 2011 edition of WPFS to be released soon. Andrew said we can send him a list of additional articles (up to 250) with permalinks that you (India) would like to have included in the next release. He says his team could then make a separate version specifically for India. My suggestion: once you have the list of articles you want included, put them in a table on this page as well. Note: obviously, it would be ideal if the tools were available for anyone to do this, without needing to go through an intermediary, but unfortunately such tools do not exist yet. HOWEVER - just so you know, the Foundation is setting aside resources to address this concern, and hopefully tools making it easy to extend and/or modify offline collections will be in place soon!
