I'm not sure if bmansurov has anything specific in mind, but generally speaking, there have been several attempts to do that sort of thing. The most prominent is Kiwix ( http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Main_Page ). I imagine they would love to have an outreachy person help them out. They are separate organization from WMF, so I'm not sure if there's logistical issues there (But I think they've participated in GSOC in the past. Qgil would know for sure if there are any issues in regards to that) There are other offline things. I believe CScott was doing work involving printable (pdf) versions of Wikipedia content ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Offline_content_generator ) . That might be an area of interest to you. -- -Brian _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
