The GSoC/Ideas-2024.md "Refactor the Wikipedia Activity to generate plain-language summaries" https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC/blob/master/Ideas-2024.md#refactor-the-wikipedia-activity-to-generate-plain-language-summaries
says "the Wikipedia activity is designed to help teachers extract content from the Wikipedia in order to create lesson plans". Actually, that feature set is implemented by the InfoSlicer activity. https://github.com/sugarlabs/infoslicer The Wikipedia activity is an offline viewer for Wikipedia pages. https://github.com/sugarlabs/wikipedia-activity It does not make sense to use the Wikipedia activity when online, instead use the Browse activity, which is the web browser. The workflow for teachers to use the Wikipedia activity is to run the extraction process across the most popular articles, filter to remove sensitive articles, and then generate a (very large) Sugar activity bundle, which the students in a class can install. It isn't used for lesson plans, but as a general offline cache, especially for students that have no internet while taking their class laptop home. A very special use case. If the aim of the GSoC idea is to use AI to craft lesson plans from Wikipedia content, then I suggest using the Browse activity instead.
