Hello,

From my mathematical point of view, I believe that this new set will definitely generate more other articles into our new custom package. My argument being, every new article we request to be added will come with its new blue links which means more articles than what we already have in our not yet completed compilation of topics. This blue links mean more articles!

As of now there are 500+ requested additions on [1] and if I do some maths by assuming that each new requested article has a minimum of 10 blue links then we are talking about 5000+ articles being added onto the SOS version of off-line WIkipedia. Note that the list is still a Work-In-Progress with more subjects to be added!

The SOS version of the offline Wikipedia is 5500 articles which means that our new additions would not fit as an addition to the SOS version and still be <4gb. I met Deonte today and he requested for some pages of the Agriculture syllabus which he is working on right now. I still have the Business Education syllabus and the C.R.E. syllabus which I secured last week.
