says "the Wikipedia activity is designed to help teachers extract<br>
content from the Wikipedia in order to create lesson plans".<br>
<br>
Actually, that feature set is implemented by the InfoSlicer activity.<br>
<a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/infoslicer" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/infoslicer</a><br>
<br>
The Wikipedia activity is an offline viewer for Wikipedia pages.<br>
<a href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/wikipedia-activity" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/sugarlabs/wikipedia-activity</a><br>
<br>
It does not make sense to use the Wikipedia activity when online,<br>
instead use the Browse activity, which is the web browser.<br>
<br>
The workflow for teachers to use the Wikipedia activity is to run the<br>
extraction process across the most popular articles, filter to remove<br>
sensitive articles, and then generate a (very large) Sugar activity<br>
bundle, which the students in a class can install.  It isn't used for<br>
lesson plans, but as a general offline cache, especially for students<br>
that have no internet while taking their class laptop home.  A very<br>
special use case.<br>
<br>
If the aim of the GSoC idea is to use AI to craft lesson plans from<br>
Wikipedia content, then I suggest using the Browse activity instead.<br>
