There have long been plans to develop a print edition of Wikipedia, and to distribute it to parts of the world with poor internet connectivity. There have also been various plans to implement content review, to produce a filtered snapshot of the encyclopedia.
- Example
- English Wikipedia 1.0
Contents |
Feature suggestions[edit]
Proposed features of a "Wikipedia 1.0" :
- content-review
- removal of stubs, confusing/unfinished articles
- content filtering
- selection of a subset of our half-million articles
- removal of content not suitable for all audiences
- offline
- suitable for users without a good internet connection
- CD/DVD editions (cf. the German and French/English efforts to produce snapshots in 2004)
- Print editions (an initial ~400pg? softcover, perhaps distributed via roomtoread or similar groups)
Printing[edit]
There is interest in distributing print copies of WP 1.0 to rural areas, and to schools with outdated textbooks and encyclopedias. There may also be interest in such a print edition among people who have access to the website.
See also other printing initiatives, including Wikijunior and Wikireaders
