Wikipedia Zero is an initiative by the Wikimedia foundation to increase reach and access to educational info to the global South where most of the users access the Internet over their mobile phones. The Wikipedia zero is a text only version since from a previous research images on Wikipedia pages consume up-to 50% of the data while loading. The global South needs access to such a resource of information to develop and attain 'things' like vision 2030. AFAIK, the Wikipedia zero will be there for as long as man lives. //Stephen On Fri, May 4, 2012 at 1:03 PM, John Gitau <jgitau@gmail.com> wrote:
