That is a cool project. Congrats, Victor.

I've a wikireader with me someone gave a few years ago. Have someone tried to install a Wikipedia of another language? I will try < http://dev.thewikireader.com/language-packs/%3E sometime soon (alguém da WMBR com mais tempo, se quiser, fale comigo).

What about using their software http://thewikireader.com/ on Linux? If you were successfull with that, please, let me know. Their apps are just for Windows and Mac stuff.

I'll check if'd possible to have these machines sold somehow in South America. Ideas? At least we still don't have at our recent Amazon < http://www.amazon.com.br/%3E site.

Maybe it would be good to suggest wikireader producers to have the hardware source open as well, if that don't make they go bankrupt. Who knows we could produce locally.

Hello everyone,

My partner and I just started a campaign on Indiegogo.com to raise funds to buy all remaining WikiReaders and distribute them to schools and kids in places that don't have internet at no charge to the schools and kids.

The campaign is here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-us-distribute-wikireaders-to-kids

The video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j07ROeiaFg0

Please consider funding the campaign and if you can't fund the campaign, please share the link with others!

While I am an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation, I am doing this entirely as a volunteer.

Thanks!
