Hey Minty,
I believe TomeRaider 2 had a Symbian version available, although I am a PPC
user so I can't be sure. Here's their website [1].
If you are willing to put in an absolutely incredible amount of work (in the
form of both your time and CPU cycles), I believe it may be possible to do
what you want without writing any code, assuming you can find that reader.
However, this is only a possibility, and you will likely run into an
insurmountable problem ;) That said,
1. Download the xml data dump [2]
2. Follow Brion's instructions here [3] for importing into a 1.4schema.
3. Search the Wikitech-l archives to figure out how to do a proper
mysql dump from the 1.4 schema [4], or ask in
irc://irc.freenode.net/mediawiki<irc://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-tech&g…
4. Follow Erik's instructions for using his script to create a
TomeRaider 2 file [5]
I have a dump, including 90,000 images, on my PPC and I really enjoy it, so
I think it's worth the work. In case you don't, just buy a PPC and send me
an e-mail. I'll give you a link to download the 1gb file.
Cheers,
Alterego

I'm looking for a offline (ie, not gprs/3g/wireless) viewer for
Wikipedia on a Symbian phone.
aka, something that:
* downloads the latest data dump
* processes it somehow
* builds some doodah that I can put on a memory card
* slot into my phone, and search/access/read wikipedia content
The offline part is key. Any pointers?
I'd also be interested in trying to get the software that does this in
an open source setup, as I can think of a couple of other large
datasets I would like to be able to carry around in my pocket.
