Abstract

The goal of this workshop is to discuss the challenges and solutions of selecting and assessing content for offline versions, like mobile readers, DVDs or published Wikipedia Books.

Emphasis will be more on the CD/DVD and PediaPress Wikipedia Books versions, since the wiki community has direct control over these solutions.
