I'd love to participate in such an event at Wikimania, if something is
organized for there (and the dates work OK). I strongly agree with
Jessie's analysis - we are perhaps 95% there and stalled, and can't
produce a really good offline selection easily until we get the last 5%
done.
I can't contribute much at the technical end at all, but I can certainly
make hopefully-not-too-stupid suggestions.

This is a great initiative. I wonder if this
would be something
worth working on in one of the upcoming hackathons. There is one
in Berline in March; if there was a group that would be interested
in working specifically on this and can go that could be really cool!
The Berlin Hackathon takes place from June 1-3. So there is still a
little more time. (

Oh - thanks for the correction, Cristoph! I guess I was thinking it was
before the chapters conference in March.
You know, it might be worth considering if there is a LARGE offline
meeting we want to do together: to get together and work on the specific
pieces of the Offline system. There are a lot of things we are working
on that are *almost* there, but that just need the final push - whether
that be tools for article selection, package compilation, reader
functionality, or file support.
Would this be of interest to people? I would really love to see these
projects scale together to the next level, and would love to devote
energy into planning this if we could compile a critical mass.
