by Vaishali Gadgil 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

Hi, I have been on this mailing list and once in a while read the posts. We are a group of Herirtage enthusiasts and have been involved in work related to it for past few years. The Idea is to start with Heritage information on Maharashtra first chapter being pune. I need help in getting started. Could someone please help here? We'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advance. Vaishali Gadgil On Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 12:14 AM, Jessie Wild <jwild(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: > > On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 7:09 PM, Martin A.

[openZIM dev-l] [Request for comments] Introducing serieid
by emmanuel＠engelhart.org 15 Jul '11

Hi, We need to identify ZIM files with the same content over the time to be able to provide update mechanisms. Use case example: * User owns a ZIM file with Wikipedia in French from 2010. * New version is released in 2011 * User is automatically warned about that and the software propose to update (download) the content. This is the reason why I propose to introduce an optional serieid in the ZIM format. Comments? Emmanuel

[openZIM dev-l] Antw.: Make Metadatas mandatory?
by Manuel Schneider 11 Jul '11

Hi Emmanuel, So far as I remember when we have defined the metadata we also defined that these attributes we have defined are also mandatory, while additional metadata (ideally also defined by dublin core) may be used. Manuel Schneider Sent via mobile phone (+49 170 7740589). ----- Reply message ----- Von: emmanuel(a)engelhart.org An: <dev-l(a)openzim.org> Betreff: [openZIM dev-l] Make Metadatas mandatory? Datum: Do., Jun. 16, 2011 12:38 Hi With the multiplication of ZIM files and ZIM editors we need ways to build overviews. Without the metadatas they are not easy way to build these overviews (You have to do it by hand every time). This is waht I learned by coding the content manager of Kiwix which works now. So I think, having ZIM files with metadatas is essential, maybe even more. I think we have to push the usage of these metadatas (title, description, creation date, creator, favicon, language) and I see 3 approaches: (1) Make these informations mandatory (2) Make a recommendation but nothing blocking (3) Do nothing and be optimistic What would be your preferred approach?
