I think having the text only version of Wikipedia available on VHF packet radio would be a good public service idea. The data would be locally stored requiring no internet.

Thoughts?

@HopelessDemigod@mstdn.social I can imagine how this would work. I have a Kiwix server with a copy of wikipedia, text only, and an AREDNMesh.org node that can expose that server over the air. It may not be packet but would let you "browse". Or, Winlink lets you send requests for web pages. That could work but doesn't offer the browser experience. It does open it up to multi-user through, in an async way.
