A superb effort - curious about the media controversy in Kerala and how that undermined this? Bishakha

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.

Thanks for sharing Tinu.
This good work by the Malayalam wikipedians requires all the visibility it deserves. There surely would be other wikipedias that would be keen to replicate this.
