Alejandro-

Maybe I'm missing the point here.

What's the advantage of reading Wikipedia offline? Aside from the size
of the files needed, the slowness of reading from optical media, and
the static character of the data... I thought the point of wikis was
that they're constantly in flux, Wikipedia more so than most. Errors
can be corrected in realtime, new topics added, etc. As soon as the
data gets burned to disc it's out of date, no?
