I'm not sure if this is a desired workflow. But I don't think whis will be
a problem if everybody builds his own wikireder offline database.

Meaning, Wikireader ships and maintains a database with all safe content.
And if you like more you do it yourself.

PS: I think it would be a good idea to only use pics with low dnamic in
the first place. There is no use to have a van Gough on a 1bit low res
screen.
But having maps, flags, schematics and other low dynamic stuff makes total
sense.
I especially think about the huge amount of svg content.
I imagine, that this can be fairly easily detected. (Maybe just simply by
compression factor)

PPS: Apropos SVG. I guess we can keep them as some kind of vector format
to save space.

PPPS: We need a mailinglist
