That sounds interesting, but I am not sure I fully understand. Is it a
clever hack where the menu system in the DVD is used for showing the
articles or are the articles made to "movies" on the DVD, making it a 6000
chapter long movie?

Hi everyone,
Last year, I got in touch with a programmer currently located in India
who works for Microsoft. His team developed a DVD-video of the Wikipedia
for Schools fork.
http://www.sos-schools.org/wikipedia-for-schools
The dvd plays on a normal dvd player and a TV. The dvd could be made
available as a disk image torrent file that anyone could burn to a
dual-layer DVD, and sell in any kiosk around the world.
The DVD hasn't been released because of the liability issues with content
that his employer (Microsoft) is concerned about, and unwilling to go out
on a limb on. Other than that, he tells me that his team is totally into
sharing this with the world.
I just received a copy of this DVD and its a clunky prototype, but it
works on my computer as a video-DVD. Unfortunately my home blu-ray player
doesn't recognize the DVD +R DL format.
Thought I should share this with you all :)
