It's an interesting idea. Personally I prefer information to not be restricted, but for those who are, for instance, not very mobile, having Wikipedia as a focus nearby, kind of makes sense. I am not sure how useful Wikipedia is, as a lot of information may be missing locally or not be up to date, but given how utter crap Google search is these days, any move towards improvements (including local things) is good. The internet was being ruined by the big corporations ruining the web for many years - it is time to fight back.
