What I think would be interesting is having private Wikipedias that would be edited and displayed locally. So, basically like James' plan, but minus the uploading part.

Sounds infeasible to me; resolving the edit conflicts would be disastrous. If we get a genius on this, it's plausible, but until then, it seems unlikely. I'm CCing this to Wikitech-l to see if they can have a go at this, though.

I was thinking about how I could work on Wikipedia offline, and though it would be great to have a stand-alone wikipedia client, which a wiki-user could download that would allow him to download wikipedia content, edit it while offline, then upload it when he gets to an internet connection. The user would set it to download either new, edited, or any other type of pages changed since his last upload.
What do you think?
