Congrats, Jamie and team! As a Khan Academy developer I can attest that this was a substantial technical undertaking.

"While it's possible that within, say, 10 years, internet access will have reached near global ubiquity, that shouldn't stop us from actively finding ways to work around its current limitations, to reach populations in need; waiting 10 years means letting already disadvantaged communities fall another generation behind, perpetuating the global digital divide as we move into whatever its next instantiation may be."

++. Kudos for highlighting (and tackling) the compounding nature of inequality.

this is a little ridiculous, three discussions on the same exact topic on the home page at once? you can't tell me all of those votes were legitimate.
The links are to three different blog posts, by various people who worked on the project, talking about their (our) experiences.
about 3 years back, I suggested KA founder to go offline (even I was ready to contribute) however he declined saying that its not feasible.

I really congratulate Jamie for going ahead and making it happen.
