I would urge people to donate to Wikipedia. The donation starts from rs 100 which most of the people here can definitely afford.
A price of an android app and much lesser than a pizza.

I wonder if any Indian operator is part of the program. Could not find a list of operators who are participating in the program.
Free access to Wikipedia on any phone capable of data connectivity would be cool. Much cooler than 0.facebook.com program.

Kiwix is an offline content reader which can be used for Wikipedia as well as other contents (Ubuntu documentation, WikiLeaks, WikiSource, etc).
Once you have downloaded the content file (potentially very large), you don't need any connection to use it.
