Hi people I would like to advice on the target audience of the wikipedia project. It is not a good idea to focus on schools without internet only. It would be better if we implement the same in schools with internet connection too. It is evident how unreliable school connections can be and in the case of having the wikipedia app the scholars will suffer less in such an occurrence. On the same note some of the students have personal computers at home which hardly have internet connection and it would be nice offering this resource.
Vicky has a point. As long as our chief target is schools without internet, it doesn't rule out the fact that the internet can still be expensive and sometimes unreliable. We should venture into all schools eventually, to cater for the needs of those who cannot access the school internet fully for one reason or another.
