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

Proposed by AndrewRT

Nice idea! I guess trademark usage would be needed (e.g. the wikipedia logo), so the WMF would need to be involved. Mike Peel 22:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
