Hi, everyone.
When running Kiwix's indexer on the ZIM file I had created from the Hebrew
Wikipedia last week, the Kiwix data directory ran up to a total of 31 items,
totalling 2.3 GB. The ZIM file itself is ~300MB. Does this proportion make
sense?
Detailed ls output attached.
Thanks in advance,
Asaf Bartov

Hi Asaf,
this is great! Do you can provide an download link, I'm curious about the result?
I do not know if you have include pictures in the dump, but if yes you can reduce the ZIM file size by 10-20% by using the ./optimizeContents.pl script and the --mediawikiOptim paramter.
If you achieve to do what you said, this would be wonderful, and certainly the first big deployement of the ZIM format.
About the Kiwix UI translation, this would be also great and pretty easy to do. I'm especialy interesting in it, because Hebrew would be the first translation of Kiwix with a language written from right to left. If you have time you can simply come to #kiwix on freenode and I will explain you how to do and give you the SVN access to upload translated files.
Congratulations
Emmanuel

Hi, everyone.
I'm pleased to announce that, with many thanks to Emmanuel and Tommi, I've
finally managed to create a ZIM file based on a Hebrew Wikipedia dump. We
are now finally able to begin evaluating it as a solution to our offline
project of embedding a Hebrew Wikipedia on every computer distributed with
the One Computer Per Child initiative of the Israeli government.
We shall be concentrating a list of bugs and/or issues and bring them to
this list. Once the main developers have a look at it, we'll gladly help
with fixing it, too. Also, we shall be contributing a Hebrew interface to
Kiwix.
More to follow in the coming week or two.
Thanks again to everyone who helped!

Dear openZIM team,
as announced I started the planning of the next developers meeting.
To be able to find a good weekend for it I set up a Doodle vote. Please check
your available weekends here:
* http://www.doodle.com/xaf4tzpuwk2xf59h
For more details and to participate at the planning please see our wiki page:
* https://openzim.org/Developer_Meetings/2009-2
I would be happy if also our team members from abroad would be able to make it
to this meeting (Tomasz, Christian?).
We still have a budget left for this meeting which I will use to cover
accommodation and meals.
If we decide early enough we can check to get an appartement, this will be
cheaper for accommodation and provides a kitchen which will save a lot of
money for meals. And by the way we would save a lot of time during the day,
having everything around. Annette will again take care of the catering and
the daily buffet.
If you have another proposal where to hold the meeting feel free to add! Just
keep the budget in mind.
Thanks for your participation,
Manuel
