[openZIM dev-l] [Bug 26] New: CRC check
by bugzilla-daemon＠openzim.org 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

http://bugs.openzim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26 Summary: CRC check Product: openZIM Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: zimlib AssignedTo: tommi(a)tntnet.org ReportedBy: emmanuel(a)engelhart.org CC: dev-l(a)openzim.org Estimated Hours: 0.0 Downloaded ZIM files are unfortunately not always fully valid at the end of the download stage. Consequently users may have a bad user experience without having a chance to easily check if the file is valid. It would be great to provide in the zimwriter/zimlib a way to check the zim file integrity easily. A way to achieve that could be: * At the end of the ZIM file creation process (file is created) compute and append at the end of the file a CRC (md5sum, sha1) * In the zimlib add a method checkIntegrity() or something similar able to compute the CRC from the file (excepting the CRC hash at the end) and make the comparison. Hash algorithm should be fast and reliable (md5?). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.openzim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Offline blog post
by Jessie Wild 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Just wanted to draw your attention to the blog post that went out today regarding offline: http://blog.wikimedia.org/ Feel free to leave comments either there or on this list! Best, Jessie *** *Update on Offline Wikipedia Projects * The last week was a big week for expanding offline Wikipedia <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects> work. Right now, /offline/ refers to supporting read access to Wikimedia content without an Internet connection. This increases the reach of the Wikipedia movement by providing more opportunities for people all over the world to access the materials. Some of the recent initiatives surrounding this project were documented in Wikimedia's tech blog <http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2011/01/update-on-offline-wikimedia-projects/> about a month ago (for more detail regarding the purpose for offline work, see the offline strategy <http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline> page). In support of our offline readership work, we're thrilled to announce the launch of a new feature on Wikipedia developed with our partners from PediaPress <http://pediapress.com/>. Last week we enabled openZim <http://openzim.org/Main_Page> (the main file format in which offline materials are stored) export for the existing PediaPress collections extension on English Wikipedia and numerous other wikis. This means that individuals can now use the existing PediaPress Create a book <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Books> tool and download it in a format which can be read offline (via an offline reader, such as Kiwix <http://kiwix.org/index.php/Main_Page>). This is important because it opens new avenues for the creation of offline materials, for example, an openZim library hosting different offline "book" options. Also, the English offline collection Wikipedia 0.8 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_0.8>was made officially available <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_0.8/downloads>, after much hard work by the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team>. This collection is an iteration in the process of developing a vetted collection of offline articles selected based on their quality and topical importance. The main constraint with an offline product is the data size restrictions: the entirety of Wikipedia must somehow be condensed so that it fits on a CD, DVD, or USB stick. Wikipedia 1.0 aims at creating the highest quality and most valuable subset of Wikipedia to meet those size requirements, and v0.8 is a precursor. Wikipedia 0.8 is a general collection of just under 50K articles, It is available for Mac, PC, or Linux with a Linux or Okawix reader; some mobile phone versions will be available later this month as well. More updates are sure to come on this offline front: Wikimedians around the world are actively assisting in the development of offline collections as well as distribution. We are excited to support and document the momentum going forward. Jessie Wild, Global Development

[openZIM dev-l] OpenZIM-Website nur auf Englisch :-(
by Matthieu 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Guten Tag, Ich finde es wirklich schade, Ihr seid ein internationales Team, Ihr könntet die openZIM-Website einfach in eine ganze Reihe von Sprachen übersetzen, stattdessen ist die Website nur auf Englisch verfügbar!! Meiner Meinung nach klappt das nicht mit dem Wikipedia-Geist. Ich wollte ein paar Links zu weiteren Informationen in einem Artikel eingeben, aber mit Links auf Englisch wird es nicht gut klappen. Wirklich schade! Mfg :-/ Matthieu.

[openZIM dev-l] Weiterl.: [Projects-Announce] Register your project workshops now!
by Manuel Schneider 28 Mar '11

28 Mar '11

Hi all, Do we want to make a developers workshop during LinuxTag in May? Manuel Schneider Sent via mobile phone (+49 170 7740589). ----- Forwarded message ----- Von: "Marko Jung" <mjung(a)linuxtag.org> An: <projects-announce(a)linuxtag.org> Betreff: [Projects-Announce] Register your project workshops now! Datum: So., Mär. 27, 2011 14:19 Dear projects! LinuxTag offers some rooms to organise a "projects to projects programme" or "developer to developer programme". We call this project workshops. Main purpose for this room is to provide attending projects an opportunity to talk to other developers (not necessarily from the same project) and to go into detail for a larger group than what would be possible at the booth. The workshops were well received by visitors in the previous years and most probably, because it will be on display for visitors again, will have a good number in audience this year, too. Please note: all workshops will be open to the public and will be announced so. In special cases we can make an exception, but we would like to discuss this in detail with you, if you think a session should be non-public. In case you or a member of your project is interested in giving a hands-on workshop, please follow this procedure to register a workshop for LinuxTag 2011: 1. Submissions are to be placed -guess what!- in our virtual Conferrence Center, please use your vCC account, and go to the speaker section to propose a new paper <https://vcc.linuxtag.org/cc.pl?rm=papers&personality=speaker>. Please choose category "Project Workshop" for your proposal here. Normally a slot is 60 Minutes (don't forget to reserve some minutes at the end so the next workshop can be prepared!), but your workshop may last up to three hours. You can neglect the licence because it is not planned to distribute your submission (like a paper for the conference programme). But please do not forget to choose the language for your workshop submission. English may be your language of choice, but it is a valuable information for an interested visitor. 2. Send an email with the subject 'Workshop proposal' containing the paper id, the desired duration of your workshop as well as your preferred date and time to conference(a)linuxtag.org. If possible include an auxiliary date, too. Please check the workshop schedule at <http://www.linuxtag.org/2011/en/program/project-workshops.html> first to ensure your proposed date and time are still free. 3. LinuxTag's conference team will check your proposal and in most cases immediately confirm your workshop. This info can also be found at https://wiki.linuxtag.org/w/fp:Project_workshops in case you want to circulate the news within your project. Best, Marko -- Conference Chair LinuxTag - 11.-14. May 2011, Berlin fairgrounds. Be part of it!

Good morning. If many people work in the process of verification and selection of items, what is the proper way to record the list csv without the following problems occur: 1) Repeat entries (Someone reviewed the same article because he did not know that was already in the list) 2) Create a shared list and easy to edit (We're talking about a list that may be so large that it is impossible to edit) Thank you very much for your help User:Wilfredor
