Hello all -

RACHEL[1], a project of World Possible focused on getting open courseware and educational materials into remote areas via an offline repository, is updating their materials and is hoping to get an updated version of offline English Wikipedia. Has there been any advancement in this by the Wikipedia 1.0 team? I haven't heard for awhile, so am not sure how to respond to the below request from Noberto!

FYI, here is a cool video of a class using Wikipedia via the RACHEL repository: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsiJH64zEe4&lr=1

Thanks and hope all are well -

Jessie

Hi Jessie

Hope you are doing great. I was releasing 2 new versions of RACHEL this past weekend, and I was wondering if there is a new version of Wikipedia offline, like 3 years old we have in our RACHEL repository.

How is your project doing?

Cheers

Norberto
