Given a wiki and a list of article titles, we can make an offline
snapshot easily. To me the question is: What kind of selections? Based
on which approach? Using which data exactly?... and then probably find
to apply it and get the list of article titles.
I can easily say for a well covered monument it would be at least:
- Wikipedia pages on the Monument, Author, Location, Time of making
(ideally in at least 2 languages, possibly in two styles like EN & Simple)
>
- Commons page as a Gallery of related images, audio, video...3D model?
(ideally in higher and lower resolutions)
- Wikispore page with non-encyclopedic info on location and/or contexts
(ideally artistic, social and geographic focuses)
We can not - for now - create one snapshot with articles coming from multiple Mediawikis. This is an open challenge.

Ok this sounds a lot like our Wikipedia-on-Demand project,
What is the way to follow it? Public repository?
Project page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Kiwix/Wikipedia_on_demand.
Most of the work will happen (at least in a first stage) at https://github.com/openzim/wp1
ie enter a list of articles on one end and get the corresponding zim
file on the other end. Release is planned for this Fall, so we’ll
make sure to put out a call so people can test it.
Great! Happy to test.
Doing something that works cross-wiki, on the other hand, is another
ball game entirely and not on our roadmap at the moment (but make no
mistake, this would be a very cool feature).
Nice that you think so...happy to brainstorm more if there is good context for this.
If you are ready to invest a bit of time on this, I can send you an invitation to our Slack and put you in touch with the few people involved on this.

OK - please do.
I dislike and avoid Slack, but can visit it in web...
Finishing some projects soon, so I can contribute more in a Autumn,
but can likely lurk and start picking up things before.
Best Z.
