Description electricflux 2013-04-26 00:34:21 UTC

I believe that a popular use of a portable Wikipedia would be its use as a field guide. This is because the only reason one would get a portable Wikipedia is to find out about something they are not aware of. It's certainly what I'm looking for.

Picture it: Adding this to the program would allow anyone, anywhere, to identify possible safety hazards. All for less than a gigabyte (at least, for now) using the Simple English Wikipedia .ZIM file and Kiwix. WITHOUT INTERNET!

I'm not suggesting that this be done immediately, but rather over time, maybe a few per version. One could easily start with the Black Widow and go from there.
Here's a great list to start. If crowdsourcing is an option, count me in:

As an addition, plants and even areas can be added!

Thanks for taking the time to report this!

Wouldn't this already be doable by using categories? Right now I don't see any requirements needed on the technical side (Bugzilla), "just" community agreement to create such categories which would be on-wiki?

This isn't anything we can do here on Bugzilla.
