Hi Ashwin,
Thanks, but with all due respect, I have a few doubts and concerns. I've shared them on the talk page.

Hi Nikhil,
You had ported an English Wikipedia for Schools to the portable ZIM file format for distribution. However that edition consists of articles selected for the Western milieu by SOS Children's Village Project. It needs tweaking to be relevant to our environment. Plus, we will need to collect equivalent sets for each Indian Language. Probably, some wikipedias may not have equivalent inter-wikis and will need fresh articles written for them.
I have begun listing the articles of the SOS version of Wikipedia for Schools ( I have the torrent/html version). Once we have listed them all, we'll customise it for India. It's begun on Wikimedia India as a Project by me. Find it here :

Although it is a couple months away, an easy way to leverage an existing organizational plan would be to tack onto the Chapter's meeting in Berlin at the end of March. Europe would also be a relatively central meeting place for us.
would be fine for me - but it should be a day _before_ the chapters meeting then as I am participating there as well.
