Bom me sentir como não sendo o único com idéias parecidas ^^

Em resumo, em 2010 eles lançaram uma versão offline da Wikipedia em malaiala; agora foi a vez do Wikisource (mais alguém se lembra que a Wikimedia não é só Wikipedia).

O contexto fica ainda melhor se lembrarmos que esse é um dos idiomas nativos da Índia, em contexto similar ao do Brasil no que se refere a avanços dentro da Wikimedia.

Subject: [Foundation-l] Announcement: Selected Books from Malayalam Wikisource on CD released

Dear fellow Wikimedians,

With great pleasure, Malayalam Wikimedia Community announced its 2011 CD
project "Selected Books from Malayalam Wikisource on CD - 1.0" at the 4th
annual Wiki Meetup in Kannur, Kerala. This is by far the biggest digital
collection of free books in Malayalam language available on CD for offline
use. This is an important milestone, as majority of the households in Kerala
does not have internet or does not have an always on connection and this
will enable them to access these books as an offline content.

challenges and aspects of the background work may read Santhosh's blog
