Myanmar
Wiki developers and
the staff from Telenor are discussing to provide free mobile access to Wikipedia, the free online
encyclopaedia.
The project is called Wiki Zero and
competitors Ooredoo have also pledged their support.Organisers plan to
train freelance developers to provide articles in Myanmar for free.
“Telenor asked for 50 articles to in
initiate. Their recommendations are systematic. Ooredoo requested for 100,000
articles before their sim-card on sale. We can give 100,000 articles they
want though I’m afraid this would end up a perfunctory effort,” said Mayar, a
developer for Myanmar Wiki.
There
are only 30,000 articles in the Myanmar version of Wikipedia due to
complications using Unicode which supports the Myanmar alphabet system.
Wikipedia is the largest online
encyclopaedia which provides publicly generated multi-language content for
free.
