Wikipedia to become offline reference
Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, is mulling taking it’s content to CD, DVD, and even print. The idea would be to give developing countries, and other offline users, access to the Wikipedia content.
“I have always liked the idea of going to print because a big part of what we are about is to disseminate knowledge throughout the world and not just to people who have broadband,” Wales said by telephone from St. Petersburg, Florida.
Wikipedia is part of the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit group that relies on donations to operate.
