The amount of knowledge in Wikipedia is so vast that I'm sure this project would help a lot of people.I have participated in a few FOSS activities in our campus in the past. Hobbies: CUDA programming, Robotics, etc.īy completing this project, I would be playing a good role in providing information to less privileged people around the globe, which is the reason I came up with this idea.

This will greatly benefit many schools/other institutes in developing regions. Once the project is finished, people will be able to get automatically incremental updates of their Wikipedia local copy.
