Great! As someone living in an area with very little Internet
availability, I love to see the issue taken seriously.
One point that's entirely missing from the declaration is the possibility
of contributing back to the information commons from areas without
connectivity. I don't fault the authors, as it seems they were
library-centric and face a different set of problems than Wikimedians, but
we should rise to the challenge, and help craft a bill of rights for
citizens of the world to participate fully, write blogs and wiki articles,
send emails, reply to comment threads, and upload media, all with
intermittent Internet access.

Adam

Hi
WikiMed, the 50.000 articles big medical Encylcopaedia from Wikipedia is
now available on the Microsoft Windows app store:
https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9PHJSNP1CZ8J
Based on the Kiwix offline technologies, Wikimed for Windows completes
the famous WikiMed apps for Android and iOS. But, to the contrary to the
other ports, this version is motorized by a pure Javascript engine,
similar to the one of Kiwix for Firefox and Chrome.
We hope that Windows mobile users will appreciate it... like all other
Windows users... They all can easily install it... even on an Xbox!
Regards
Emmanuel
