I think it's especially great that two other Indian languages are
reusing the software b/c we don't want people to unnecessarily duplicate
their efforts. How did they find out about the Malayalam CD? Is there
any dialogue coordination among/between the dev groups?

The efforts behind the Malayalam offline Wikipedia CD
is really
appreciable. It required a hardwork of 20+ Wikipedians for more than 2-3
months to make it a success. They also faced several technical /
software hurdles which they successfully overcame later. Atleast 2 other
Indian languages are now re-using this software to make their Wikipedia
CDs..
But unfortunately media in Kerala state created a silly controversy
about it and thereby undermining the efforts of these self-less people.
Glad to know that atleast the rest of the world recognizes the true
value of their efforts.

This is a great post by Martin, who's been an
advocate for offline
Wikipedia for many years. I also like the link to Shinju's post. I'll
work on getting more offline related posts to the Foundation blog as
well to highlight the great work by the Malayalam Wikipedians.
