Hey All. Have started producing 128 Gb versions of Internet-in-a-Box. What they contain is all of English Wikipedia (77 Gb, version from a month ago) plus all of one of Arabic, Spanish, French, or Portuguese WP. French may or may not include pictures. Cost of manufacturing is about 50 USD. Further customization is possible after getting the device. Plan to gradually increase production based on demand. -- James Heilman MD, CCFP-EM, Wikipedian

[OPENZIM][KIWIX] New offline version of the Gutenberg project

by Emmanuel Engelhart

Hi We finally have generated new offline versions of the famous Gutenberg project library which has almost 60.000 free ebooks. See https://www.gutenberg.org/. This version provides of course more books than ever before, but also fixes many bugs which were impacting the scrapper or the user interface. We have extended the number of UI supported languages and fulltext search is now provided natively with Kiwix - no need to compute an external fulltext index. The offline versions are available like usual in the ZIM format. More details about the ZIM format and the openZIM project at http://www.openzim.org/ You can easily download one ZIM file with all the Gutenberg project books in all languages: * via HTTP: https://download.kiwix.org/zim/gutenberg_mul_all.zim * via BitTorrent: https://download.kiwix.org/zim/gutenberg_mul_all.zim.torrent * Language specific files at https://download.kiwix.org/zim/ * rsync or FTP are also supported. These ZIM files are readable wherever you want and on almost all kinds of devices thanks the multiple Kiwix ports, pick yours at http://www.kiwix.org/ or on your preferred app store. If you are curious and want just to have a look, please visit your library at https://library.kiwix.org/gutenberg_mul_all_2018-10/. For tech people, all the scrapper is open source and maintained.
