A collection of thoughts about producing an English-language DVD of Wikipedia content, drawing from the experiences of theGerman DVD publication effort (with Directmedia) and the proposed Mandriva collaboration (in English and French, not yet consummated).

• Mandriva collaboration - date uncertain.
• Wikiwizzy publication ... ask Andy for details_
• TEJO plans to produce an Esperanto DVD including the Esperanto Wikipedia in the summer 2006. Any help (especially technical) would be appreciated. --Chuck SMITH

Limitations of content:

• restrictions on image content/size.
• restriction on stub inclusion
• filtering out of POV/VfD/other-tagged articles.

Validation:

• Use of review feature? Special checking of new articles/edits from the last day?

Current and proposed contracts:

• Mandriva -draft contract andsecond draft on meta; other discussions on meta, mailing list, and fr:

• Scripts for: formatting, transclusion, image- and media-manipulation, reader integration
• Designs for: packaging, interface, main page/introduction
• Relationship with theSchools Wikipedia DVD already published.

• Wikipedia:Mandrake DVD
