I was working as a teacher, I and my friend wanted to
give offline
wikipedia content to children using tablets. We stumbled upon OpenZim
format.
After some work over the past two weeks. The tool is finally ready and
live at

You can read about it here

The source code is at
https://github.com/tecoholic/Zimbalaka.
Kindly take a look and I would be happy if people could host it in
multiple places in use it, since current hosting on a friend's server ;)
That's a really nice project:
* There is a real need of the community
* It's open source
* It use a good format.
Thank you very much for sharing your work here.
We always wanted to propose such a tool but did not have invested the
necessary resources, so it's really nice to see a first version released
by you. We of course volonteer to host it, help to improve it, etc.
The only point which is a little bit "problematic" is the technology to
retrieve and manipulate the HTML from Mediawiki. We have been working
since almost two years on mwoffliner (mwoffliner can perfectly deal with
list of articles), a solution to do that and AFAIK this is the most
advanced solution to retrieve Mediawiki content. What do you think about
re-using it within Zimbalaka?
Kind regards
