Wikipedia is crawling off the web and onto a printed page near you, at least if you happen to live in Germany.

 

Media conglomerate Bertelsmann (which owns Random House, among other things) has announced plans to put out a stripped-down offline version of the German Wikipedia later this year with the goal of appealing to "new target groups, including young people."

 

I would have thought that a watered-down version of Wikipedia on paper would be far less appealing to tech-savvy youngsters of the world!
