*Excellent idea. Perhaps this could be useful in the schools project as well - a taster CD of what Wikipedia offers and some of its high-quality work could be good for illustrating the project to young'uns.

Revision as of 19:08, 3 July 2009
Distributing Wikipedia on CDs or Laptops
Outline
We contact either a PC magazine or a computer or Linux distributor and persuade them to include a CD/DVD including a sample of Wikipedia articles (possibly Wikipedia for Schools or Wikipedia v0.5)
See this article for how the Indonesian chapter did something similar.
Benefits
We make Wikipedia content more widely available and used.
Financial requirements
The magazine/computer/Linux distributor would pay for the costs
Volunteering
Just contacts to speak to the partner companies.
Discussion
