See below regarding the updated Wikipedia for Schools. This is an important tool for offline use, particularly in schools.
If you have any use cases and want to share a quote or story, please pass them along to Jamie! I know there are some good ones out there!

Hello all
I'm emailing you today because you've expressed interest in Wikipedia for Schools in the past. Please forgive me if I've already been in touch individually - I'm emailing to the full mailing list today.
I'm very excited to announce that we've just updated Schools Wikipedia for 2013. The new version is much expanded, containing roughly 6000 articles, 50,000 images and consisting of 26 million words! And although it's still organised around the UK national curriculum, and still hand-checked for suitability, it boasts a brand new look which we're really rather proud of.
There are two ways you can access it:
- Browse the online version http://schools-wikipedia.org/ - Alternatively, you can download a copyhttp://www.sos-schools.org/wikipedia-for-schools/wikipedia-schools-3.0.0.torrentfor use offline.
You can also find more information about the project, including its purpose and history, here http://www.sos-schools.org/wikipedia-for-schools on our schools website.
If anyone has anything nice to say - about this version or a previous edition - that we can quote in press, I'd be really grateful - as much or as little as you have time for.
Please do pass circulate this email to anyone you feel may benefit. And, of course, if you have any questions whatsoever, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Many thanks
