Content for Linuxola
Because of the poor quality of internet connection in many parts of our
project countries, it is desirable to store useful content on the
Linuxola server hard disks. A way to do this would be to copy useful
sites in a proxy server and install this onto the Linuxola server.
This is rather difficult, time-consuming, and beyond my capabilities. I
can only offer things I already archived.
In the case of Wikipedia, several download projects exist.

Not quite that easy to do it properly. HTML copying is not the way to do
it. There is no finished DVD-project yet in the English language, only
German. There is a controversial CD-project, see

Any thoughts?
