However, handing out an offline version will give some schools who currently do not block Wikipedia a reason to do so :-( It's something to think about.
It's a very cut-down selection - 4000-odd articles and pictures. Mind you, that fills a DVD. (This gives you some idea how HUGE Wikipedia actually is. I still can't really say I have my head around its size, though I can quote numbers as well as anyone.)
